LM10503  
Triple Buck Converter Energy Management Unit (EMU) with  
PowerWise® 2.0 Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) and ADC  
General Description  
Features  
LM10503 is an advanced EMU containing three configurable,  
high-efficiency bucks for supplying variable voltages to a di-  
verse range of applications. The device is ideal for supporting  
ASIC and SOC designs which use voltage scaling for reduc-  
ing power consumption.  
Three high-efficiency programmable bucks:  
Integrated FETs with low RDSON  
Bucks operate at 120° phase to reduce the input  
current ripple and capacitor size  
Input Under Voltage Lock-out  
The device is digitally controlled via the PWI® 2.0 open-stan-  
dard interface. LM10503 operates cooperatively with a Pow-  
erWise® technology-compatible ASIC to optimize the supply  
voltage adaptively (AVS - Adaptive Voltage Scaling) over pro-  
cess and temperature variations. It also supports dynamic  
voltage-scaling (DVS) using frequency/voltage pairs from  
pre-characterized look-up tables.  
Enable pin and internal soft start  
Current overload and thermal shutdown  
4-Channel Multi-Function Port (MFP) that includes:  
8-bit ADC with integrated reference  
Comparator Input/General Purpose Output  
Interrupt request output with multiple sources  
PWI® 2.0 Open-Standard Interface  
Key Specifications  
Power-On Reset (POR) open-drain output with delay

Buck 1 (AVS): Programmable output: 0.7V - 1.2V, 2A  
Bucks 2 & 3: Adjustable output: 1.0V - 3.5V, 1A  
Applications  
The LM10503 and LM10503-1 are suitable for applications  
that require multiple supplies in the range of 0.7 to 3.5V and

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the  
device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the  
Electrical Characteristics tables.  
Note 2: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.  
Note 3: VIN refers to these power pins connected together: AVDD = VDDL = VDDADC = DVDD = PVIN1A = PVIN1B = PVIN2 = PVIN3  
Note 4: GND Pins means all ground pins must be connected together: AGND = GNDL = PGND1A = PGND1B = GNDADC = DSGND = PGND3 = PGND2 =  
PAD.  
Note 5: Signal pins include SW1-3, SA0-1, IRQ, POR, SPWI, SCLK, FB1-3, MFP0-3 and EN.  
Note 6: VPWI, VDDMFP sequencing requirements: voltage on VPWI and VDDMFP must be less than, or equal to, VIN, including during ramp up and ramp down  
of power supplies.  
Note 7: Applies to all pins. The Human Body Model (HBM) is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor into each pin (MIL-STD-883 3015.7). The  
Machine Model (MM) is a 200 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin (EAIJ).  
Note 8: For detailed soldering specifications and information, please refer to National Semiconductor Application Note 1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP)  
http://www.national.com/an/AN/AN-1187.pdf.  
Note 9: The amount of Absolute Maximum power dissipation allowed for the device depends on the ambient temperature and can be calculated using the formula:  
P = (TJ–TA)/θJA, (1) where TJ is the junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. θJA is highly  
application and board-layout dependent. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. (See General Electrical Characteristics.)  
Note 10: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be  
derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 105°C), the maximum power  
dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX) and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the  
following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).  
Note 11: θJC refers to the bottom metal surface of the LLP as the CASE. θJB is the junction-to-board thermal resistance. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance  
(θJA) is taken from a thermal modeling result and is based on a power dissipation of 1.33W, using a 4-layer FR-4 standard JEDEC thermal test board (4LJEDEC):  
4"x3" (102 mm x 76 mm x 1.6 mm) in size. Ambient temperature in simulation is 22°C, under stationary airflow condition. The board has 2 internal copper layers  
which cover roughly the same size as the board. The copper thickness for the four layers, starting from the top one are: 36/18/18/36 [µm] (2/1/1/2 [oz]). A minimum  
number of 9 thermal vias are placed between the pad on the top side and the 2nd copper layer. Detailed description of the board can be found in JEDEC standard  
JESD 51-7 (High Effective Thermal Conductivity Test Board for Leaded Surface Mount Packages) and JESD51-5 (Extension of Thermal Test Board Standards  
for Packages with Direct Thermal Attachment Mechanisms). The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is highly dependent on application and board layout.  
The value of θJA of this product can vary significantly, depending on PCB material, layout, and environmental conditions. In applications where high maximum  
power dissipation exists (high VIN, high IOUT), special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues. For more information on these topics, please refer to

The device incorporates three high-efficiency synchronous  
buck regulators that deliver three output voltages from a sin-  
gle power source. The device also includes a Multifunctional  
Block that comprises a 4-channel ADC, comparators and  
GPOs.  
LM10503 General Description  
LM10503 is a PWI 2.0 compliant Energy Management Unit  
for reducing power consumption of the digital core of Sys-  
tems-on-a-Chip (SoCs), ASICs, and processors. It operates  
cooperatively with processors that incorporate National  
Semiconductor’s Advanced Power Controller (APC) to pro-  
vide Adaptive or Dynamic Voltage Scaling (AVS or DVS)  
which significantly improves the system efficiency when com-  
pared to fixed output voltage implementations.

DIGITALLY ASSISTED VOLTAGE SCALING  
caused by the power routing from the AVS regulator all the  
way to the internal circuitry of the powered device. As a  
result, maximum power savings are achieved.  
The device is designed to be used in a voltage scaling system  
to lower the power dissipation by scaling the supply voltage  
with the clock frequency. Buck 1 supports two modes of volt-  
age scaling: Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Adaptive  
Voltage Scaling (AVS).  
The device delivers fast and controlled voltage scaling tran-  
sients with the help of a digital state machine. The state  
machine automatically optimizes the control loop of the buck  
regulator to provide large voltage steps with minimal over-  
and undershoot. This is an important characteristic for voltage  
scaling systems that rely on minimal over- and undershoot to  
set voltages as low as possible in order to maximize the en-  
ergy savings.  
DVS mode: the voltage changes are initiated by the  
system firmware as a result of changes in the operating  
frequency of the system. Pre-characterized voltage - clock  
frequency pairs are used. This is an open loop system  
because it does not adapt to temperature changes or other  
factors.  
DATA INTEFACE  
• AVS mode: the voltage changes are initiated by the  
Advanced Power Controller (APC, residing in the powered  
IC) as a result of changes in the operating performance of  
the monitored system. Pre-characterized voltage - clock  
frequency pairs are not needed. AVS is a closed loop  
system that provides an automatic process and  
The device is programmable via the low power, 2-wire Pow-  
erWise® Interface (PWI). The signals associated with this  
interface are SPWI and SCLK. Through this interface, the us-  
er can enable/disable the device as well as select between  
DVS and AVS modes. By accessing the registers in the de-  
vice through this interface, the user can get access and  
control the operation of the buck controllers, ADC, compara-  
tors and GPOs in the device. For maximum flexibility, the logic  
levels of these signals can be matched with the host by sup-  
plying the corresponding I/O voltage level to the VPWI pin as  
shown in the figure below.  
temperature compensation such that for any given  
process, temperature, or clock frequency, the minimum  
supply voltage is delivered. AVS systems continuously  
track the system’s performance and immediately optimize  
the supply voltage to the required lowest value. An added  
benefit is the automatic compensation for voltage drops

BUCK REGULATORS OPERATION  
buck converter contains a control block, a switching PFET

feedback path. The following figure shows the block diagram  
of each of the three buck regulators integrated in the device.

30112110  
FIGURE 5. Buck Functional Diagram  
During the first portion of each switching cycle, the control  
block turns on the internal PFET switch. This allows current  
to flow from the input through the inductor to the output filter  
capacitor and load. The inductor limits the current to a ramp  
with a slope of (VIN –VOUT)/L by storing energy in a magnetic  
field. During the second portion of each cycle, the control  
block turns the PFET switch off, blocking current flow from the  
input, and then turns the NFET synchronous rectifier on. The  
inductor draws current from ground through the NFET to the  
output filter capacitor and load, which ramps the inductor cur-  
rent down with a slope of –VOUT/L. The output filter stores  
charge when the inductor current is high, and releases it when  
low, smoothing the voltage across the load. The output volt-  
age is regulated by modulating the PFET switch on time to  
control the average current sent to the load. The effect is  
identical to sending a duty-cycle modulated rectangular wave  
formed by the switch and synchronous rectifier at the SW pin  
to a low-pass filter formed by the inductor and output filter  
capacitor. The output voltage is equal to the average voltage  
at the SW pin.  
BUCK REGULATORS DESCRIPTION  
The device incorporates three high efficiency synchronous  
switching buck regulators that deliver various voltages from a  
single DC input voltage. They include many advanced fea-  
tures to achieve excellent voltage regulation, high efficiency  
and fast transient response time. The bucks feature voltage  
mode architecture with synchronous rectification. Each of the  
switching regulators is specially designed for high efficiency  
operation throughout the load range. With a 2MHz typical  
switching frequency, the external L-C filter can be small and  
still provide very low output voltage ripple. The bucks are in-  
ternally compensated to be stable with the recommended  
external inductors and capacitors as detailed in the applica-  
tion diagram. Synchronous rectification yields high efficiency  
for low voltage and high output currents. All bucks can operate  
up to a 100% duty cycle allowing for the lowest possible input

voltage that still maintains the regulation of the output. The  
lowest input to output dropout voltage is achieved by keeping  
the PMOS switch on. Additional features include soft-start,  
under-voltage lock-out, and current and thermal overload pro-  
tection. To reduce the input current ripple, the device employs  
a control circuit that operates the 3 bucks at 120° phase.  
ternal resistor divider can be calculated using the following  
equations.  
Buck 1 (AVS)  
This buck can deliver up to 2A at voltages in the range of  
0.700 -1.208V in 127 steps of 4mV resolution and features  
Adaptive and Dynamic Voltage Scaling (AVS and DVS). It  
operates in PWM mode only. Its output voltage can be pro-  
grammed via the CORE VOLTAGE ADJUST command as  
described in the PWI Standard. The voltage setting is held in  
register R0 (see PWI register map). Alternately, the voltage  
output of Buck 1 can also be programmed by directly access-  
ing the same R0 register.  
The recommended value for R2 is 2k. For a desired value  
of VOUT, the value of R1 is:  
Bucks 2 and 3  
These two bucks are identical in performance and mode of  
operation. They can deliver up to 1A and operate in FPWM  
(forced PWM), or automatic mode (PWM/PFM).  
In FPWM Mode the bucks always operate in PWM mode re-  
gardless of the output current.  
In Automatic Mode, if the output current is lower than 70 mA,  
the bucks automatically transition into PFM (Pulse Frequency  
Modulation) operation to reduce the current consumption,  
while at higher than 70 mA they operate in PWM mode. This  
increases the efficiency at lower output currents. To configure  
this mode, the user needs to set BK2FPWM or BK3FPWM  
bits located in the Buck Control Register to 0.

DEFAULT STARTUP SEQUENCE  
converters are turned off. An internal 22 kresistor (±30%)  
attached to the FB pin is activated to discharge any residual  
charge present in the output circuitry.  
The 3 buck regulators are staggered during startup to avoid  
large inrush currents. There are 8 "starting times" with a Td =  
2ms resolution. The first voltage starts to come up only after  
the internal circuitry has reached steady state. The default  
start sequence is shown in the table and Figure 7 below.  
STARTUP SEQUENCE  
The device incorporates an advanced startup circuit that en-  
sures correct system boot.  
Start Time Slot  
The designer must ensure that VPWI and VDDMFP are al-  
ways lower or equal to VIN, including during the initial power  
up of the device. If VDDMFP and VPWI are supplied from VIN  
or from one of the output voltages generated by the 3 bucks,  
than this requirement is automatically satisfied. Note the lim-  
itation of VPWI maximum supply is 3.63V. The VIN input  
voltage can ramp-up as fast as 25 µs and as slow as 10 ms,  
but it should not have a dip larger than 0.1V, while all 3 outputs  
are loaded at their maximum rated current.

POWER-ON DEFAULT AND DEVICE ENABLE  
The device can be enabled/disabled by driving the ENABLE  
pin high/low. Once enabled, the device engages the power-  
up sequence and the 3 output voltages settle to their default  
values. After the power up sequence is completed, and after  
an additional delay, the POR pin goes high. While the device  
is enabled, Buck2 and 3 can be individually disabled by ac-  
cessing their corresponding BKEN bits in register R10 (BUCK  
CONTROL).  
When the input power supply reaches the UVLO level (which  
is sensed on the AVDD pin), and after a delay of about 15 ms  
±30%, the internal sequencer will start counting. The 3 bucks  
can be enabled at any 2ms discrete points within the 16 ms  
maximum sequencer delay.  
After the last power supply is up and running, a fixed delay of  
32 ms is added after which the POR pin (reset output) is de-  
asserted (pin goes in tri-state). This 32 ms delay allows a  
processor to stabilize its internal clocks, PLLs or other support  
circuits before its reset input driven from POR is released.  
BUCK1 can only be turned off by issuing a SLEEP COM-  
MAND. All three bucks can be turned off at once by using the  
SHUTDOWN COMMAND from PWI. To re-enable the part,  
either the ENABLE pin must be toggled (high – low – high),  
or a RESET COMMAND must be used. The part will then en-  
ter the power-up sequence and all voltages will return to their  
default values. The ENABLE pin resets all the previously pro-  
grammed bits in the register set to their power-on default. The  
ENABLE pin provides flexibility for system control. In larger  
systems, it can be advantageous to enable/disable a subsys-  
tem independently. For example, the device may be powering  
an application processor, in which case the system controller  
can disable the application processor via the ENABLE pin, but  
leave other subsystems on. If the ENABLE pin function is not  
required (i.e., all the power states are controlled through the  
PWI bus), the pin should be tied to VIN. If the ENABLE pin is  
tied low, the part is disabled and the PWI interface is also  
disabled, and the access to PWI registers is not possible.  
After the last buck is enabled, the internal sequencer waits a  
maximum of 8ms for all 3 bucks to fully start (as reflected by  
their respective BUCK#-OK bit). If at least one of the bucks is  
not starting up within 8ms (for example because of an over-  
load), the device enters an “output fault” state, all 3 bucks are  
immediately shut down, and a 200 ms time delay is added  
before the sequencer will restart. The 200 ms delay is needed  
to allow all output capacitors to fully discharge, such that the  
next startup will not be under bias.  
The sequencing timer is restarted and the 3 bucks are en-  
abled according to the sequencer configuration. If the cause  
of the fault is still present, the 3 bucks will be shut down again,  
and the process repeats indefinitely. The power supply will be  
in a “hiccup” mode with a repetition period of about 214 ms.  
Of these 214 ms, the bucks are on for about 8 to 12 ms, so  
the duty cycle is about 3.7% to 5.6%, and this reduces the risk  
of damage to the system. The device will stay in this hiccup  
mode till the condition that caused the overload is removed.

FIGURE 7. Startup Sequence  
SOFT START  
different from the previous one (large voltage step up or  
down), the output voltage may overshoot or undershoot. To  
prevent this, the user should increment the output voltage of  
SW1 in small enough steps.  
Each of the buck converters has an internal soft-start circuit  
that limits the in-rush current during startup. This allows the  
converters to gradually reach the steady state operating point,  
thus reducing start-up stresses and surges. During startup,  
the switch current limit is increased in steps. Soft start is ac-  
tivated only if EN goes from logic low to logic high, after VIN  
is higher than the UVLO trip point.  
Alternately, this can be done automatically by the logic inside  
the device by setting BK1RAMPEN bit of register R10 (Buck  
Control) to 1. In this case, the user has two options to select  
from: SLOW-RAMP and FAST-RAMP which can be selected  
by programming the BK1RAMPMOD bit (Buck 1 Ramp Mode)  
of the same register.  
For Buck 1 the soft start is implemented as a linear output  
voltage ramp that takes about 500 µs. This soft start time in  
general doesn't vary with VOUT level or the allowed COUT  
range (22 µF - 44 µF). During soft start, the load is expected  
to be light, or resistive, for example, if the final voltage is 1V  
at 2A, the buck expects the load at VOUT = 0.1V to be about  
200 mA.  
SLOW-RAMP: set BK1RAMPMOD to 0. In this case the volt-  
age code is stepped up/down every 8µs.  
FAST-RAMP: set BK1RAMPMOD to 1. In this case the volt-  
age code is stepped up/down every 4µs (reset delay).  
In both SLOW-RAMP and FAST-RAMP modes, the operation  
is as follows  
For Bucks 2 and 3 the soft start is implemented by increasing  
the switch current limit in steps that are gradually higher: 180  
mA, 300 mA, and 720 mA. The startup time depends on the  
output capacitor size, load current and output voltage. Typical  
startup time with the recommended output capacitor of 22 µF  
is 0.2 - 1ms.  
Ramp up will have a maximum of 8 voltage codes per step  
(4mV/code * 8 codes = 32 mV), but will have less voltage  
codes (4 or 2 or 1) if within 8 voltage codes of the target  
level. A full ramp-up from 7’h00 to 7’h7F will take ~144 µs  
for ramp mode 0 and 72 µs mode 1.  
Ramp down will have a maximum of 4 voltage codes per  
step (4mV/code * 4 codes = 16 mV), but will have a single  
voltage code if within 4 voltage codes of the target level.  
A full ramp-down from 7’h7F to 7’h00 will take ~272 µs for  
ramp mode 0 and 136 µs mode 1.  
BUCK 1 DIGITALLY ASSISTED RAMP CONTROL  
The slew rate of the Buck 1 output can be configured by set-  
ting the bits BK1RAMPMOD and BK1RAMPEN in the Buck  
Control register R10.

UNDER VOLTAGE LOCK OUT (UVLO)  
Bucks 2 and 3 will automatically transition into PFM mode  
when either of two conditions occurs for a duration of 32 or  
more clock cycles:  
The AVDD pin is monitored for a supply under voltage con-  
dition, for which the operation of the device can not be guar-  
anteed. The part will automatically be disabled if the supply  
voltage is insufficient. To prevent unstable operation, the UV-  
LO has a hysteresis window of about 200 mV. An under  
voltage lockout (UVLO) will force the device into the RESET  
state. Once the supply voltage is above the UVLO hysteresis,  
the device will initiate a power-up sequence and then enter  
the ACTIVE state.  
1. The inductor current becomes discontinuous, or  
2. The peak PMOS switch current drops below the IMODE  
level. (Typically:  
During PFM operation, the converter positions the output volt-  
age slightly higher than the nominal output voltage during  
PWM operation, allowing additional headroom for voltage  
drop during a load transient from light to heavy load. The PFM  
comparators sense the output voltage via the feedback pin  
and control the switching of the output FETs such that the  
output voltage ramps between 0.8% and 1.6% (typical) above  
the nominal PWM output voltage. If the output voltage is be-  
low the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold, the PMOS power  
switch is turned on. It remains on until the output voltage ex-  
ceeds the ‘high’ PFM threshold or the peak current exceeds  
the I_PFM level set for PFM mode. The typical peak current  
in PFM mode is:  
THERMAL SHUTDOWN (TSD)  
The temperature of the silicon die is monitored for an over-  
temperature condition, for which the operation of the device  
can not be guaranteed. The part will automatically be disabled  
if the temperature is too high. The thermal shutdown (TSD)  
will force the device into the RESET state. To prevent unsta-  
ble operation, the TSD has a hysteresis window of about  
20°C. Once the temperature has decreased below the TSD  
hysteresis, the device will initiate a power-up sequence and  
then enter the ACTIVE state.  
POWER ON RESET (POR)  
The device contains a voltage monitor on its input and output  
voltages and will assert POR pin whenever the voltages are  
too low. The pin is an open-drain type output, therefore it must  
be pulled-up via an external resistor. The device continues to  
assert this pin for about 32 ms after all output voltages are  
good, to ensure that the powered devices are properly reset.  
The POR pin remains asserted for as long as the error con-  
dition persists.  
Once the PMOS power switch is turned off, the NMOS power  
switch is turned on until the inductor current ramps to zero.  
When the NMOS zero-current condition is detected, the  
NMOS power switch is turned off. If the output voltage is be-  
low the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold (see figure below)  
the PMOS switch is again turned on and the cycle is repeated  
until the output reaches the desired level. Once the output  
reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold, the NMOS switch is turned  
on briefly to ramp the inductor current to zero and then both  
output switches are turned off and the part enters an ex-  
tremely low power mode. Quiescent supply current during this  
‘sleep’ mode is less than 30 µA, which allows the part to  
achieve high efficiencies under extremely light load condi-  
tions. When the output drops below the ‘low’ PFM threshold,  
the cycle repeats to restore the output voltage to ~1.6% above  
the nominal PWM output voltage.  
CURRENT LIMITING  
A current limit feature protects the device and any external  
components during overload conditions. In PWM mode the  
current limiting is implemented by using an internal compara-  
tor that trips at current levels according to the buck capability.  
If the output is shorted to ground the device enters a timed  
current limit mode where the NFET is turned on for a longer  
duration until the inductor current falls below a low threshold,  
ensuring inductor current has more time to decay, thereby  
preventing runaway.  
PWM OPERATION  
While in PWM mode, the bucks use an internal NFET as a  
synchronous rectifier to reduce the rectifier forward voltage  
drop and the associated power loss. Synchronous rectifica-  
tion provides a significant improvement in efficiency whenev-  
er the output voltage is relatively low compared to the voltage  
drop across an ordinary rectifier diode.  
If the load current should increase during PFM mode causing  
the output voltage to fall below the ‘low2’ PFM threshold, the  
part will automatically transition into fixed-frequency PWM  
mode.  
PFM OPERATION (BUCKS 2 and 3)  
At very light loads, Buck 2 and Buck 3 enter PFM mode and  
operate with reduced switching frequency and supply current  
to maintain high efficiency.

FIGURE 8. PFM vs. PWM Operation  
PWM/PFM OPERATION AND SETTINGS (REGISTER R10)  
[BUCKS 2 and 3]  
The PWM-to-PFM transition occurs when the DC output cur-  
rent is equal to the ripple current:  
The switching converters in the device have two modes of  
operation: pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse frequen-  
cy modulation (PFM).  
By default, the device stays in PWM mode. This register pro-  
vides the ability to enable the automatic transition between  
PFM or PWM operation.  
where L is the output inductance and fS is the switching fre-  
quency.  
In PWM the converter switches at a fixed frequency deter-  
mined by the frequency of the internal clock. Each period can  
be split into two cycles. During the first cycle, the high-side  
switch is on and the low-side switch is off, therefore the in-  
ductor current is rising. In the second cycle, the high-side  
switch is off and the low-side switch is on causing the inductor  
current to decrease. The output ripple voltage is lowest in  
PWM mode. As the load current decreases, the converter ef-  
ficiency becomes worse due to the increased percentage of  
overhead current needed to operate in PWM mode.  
The converter will transition into PFM mode when the output  
switch current is negative for 4 consecutive clock cycles.  
If the load current increases during PFM mode causing the  
output voltage to fall below the PFM threshold ( 1% above  
VOUT nominal) - the part will automatically transition into fixed-  
frequency PWM mode.  
LOW DROPOUT OPERATION  
The device can operate at 100% duty cycle (no switching;  
PMOS switch completely on) for low drop out support. In this  
way the output voltage will be controlled down to the lowest  
possible input voltage. When the device operates near 100%  
duty cycle, output voltage ripple is approximately 25 mV.  
At light load current the converter can enter PFM operation if  
R10 register BKxFPWM bit is zero, in which case the output  
stage operates alternately between tristate and the nominal  
PWM switching frequency. This mode of operation maintains  
high efficiency even at light load current.  
The minimum input voltage needed to support the output volt-  
age: VIN_MIN = VOUT + ILOAD x (RDSON_PFET + RIND), where:  
In PFM mode, the converter begins to ramp up the output  
voltage after the output voltage falls below the PFM threshold  
( 1% above VOUT nominal). When the output voltage has  
reached VOUT nominal and the load current is still light, the  
converter tristates the output stage. The average output volt-  
age in PFM mode is, therefore, slightly higher than VOUT  
nominal.

side) switch in the triode region

EXTERNAL COMPONENTS SELECTION  
All three switchers require an input capacitor, and an output  
inductor-capacitor filter. These components are critical to the  
performance of the device. All three switchers are internally  
compensated and do not require external components to

be programmed through the PWI pins. The output voltages of  
Bucks 2 and 3 can be modified using external resistor dividers  
connected from the output voltage to the FB pin.

Suggested Inductors and Their Suppliers  
The designer should choose the inductors that best match the  
system requirements. A very wide range of inductors are  
available as regarding physical size, height, maximum current  
(thermally limited, and inductance loss limited), series resis-  
tance, maximum operating frequency, losses, etc. In general,  
smaller physical size inductors will have higher series resis-  
tance (DCR) and implicitly lower overall efficiency is  
achieved. Very low profile inductors may have even higher  
series resistance. The designer should try to find the best  
compromise between system performance and cost.  
INDUCTOR SELECTION  
The recommended inductor values are shown in Figure 3. It  
is important to guarantee the inductor core does not saturate  
during any foreseeable operational situation. The inductor  
should be rated to handle the peak load current plus the ripple  
current:  
Care should be taken when reviewing the different saturation  
current ratings that are specified by different manufacturers.  
Saturation current ratings are typically specified at 25°C, so  
ratings at maximum ambient temperature of the application  
should be requested from the manufacturer.  
OUTPUT AND INPUT CAPACITORS CHARACTERISTICS  
Special attention should be paid when selecting these com-  
ponents. As shown in the following figure, the DC bias of these  
capacitors can result in a capacitance value that falls below  
the minimum value given in the recommended capacitor  
specifications table. Note that the graph shows the capaci-  
tance out of spec for the 0402 case size capacitor at higher  
bias voltages. It is therefore recommended that the capacitor  
manufacturers’ specifications for the nominal value capacitor  
are consulted for all conditions, as some capacitor sizes (e.g.  
0402) may not be suitable in the actual application.  
There are two methods to choose the inductor saturation cur-  
rent rating:  
Recommended Method:  
The best way to guarantee the inductor does not saturate is  
to choose an inductor that has saturation current rating  
greater than the maximum device current limit, as specified  
in the Electrical Characteristics. In this case the device will  
prevent inductor saturation by going into current limit before  
the saturation level is reached.  
Alternate Method:  
If the recommended approach cannot be used care must be  
taken to guarantee that the saturation current is greater than  
the peak inductor current:  
30112115  
FIGURE 9. Typical Variation in Capacitance vs.  
DC Bias  
The ceramic capacitor’s capacitance can vary with tempera-  
ture. The capacitor type X7R, which operates over a temper-  
ature range of −55°C to +125°C, will only vary the capacitance  
to within ±15%. The capacitor type X5R has a similar toler-  
ance over a reduced temperature range of −55°C to +85°C.  
Many large value ceramic capacitors, larger than 1 μF are  
manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics.  
www.ti.com  
24  
Their capacitance can drop by more than 50% as the tem-  
perature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore X7R is recom-  
mended over Z5U and Y5V in applications where the ambient  
temperature will change significantly above or below 25°C.  
Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use  
as output capacitors because they are more expensive when  
comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the  
0.47 µF to 44 µF range. Another important consideration is  
that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equiv-  
alent size ceramics. This means that while it may be possible  
to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the sta-  
ble range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which  
means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with  
the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of  
a typical tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the temperature  
goes from 25°C down to −40°C, so some guard band must  
be allowed.  
30112116  
FIGURE 10. COUT ESR  
The output-filter capacitor smooths out the current flow from  
the inductor to the load and helps maintain a steady output  
voltage during transient load changes. It also reduces output  
voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with suffi-  
cient capacitance and low enough ESR to perform these  
functions.  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION  
Note that the output voltage ripple increases with the inductor  
current ripple and the Equivalent Series Resistance of the  
output capacitor (ESRCOUT). Also note that the actual value  
of the capacitor’s ESRCOUT is frequency and temperature de-  
pendent, as specified by its manufacturer. The ESR should  
be calculated at the applicable switching frequency and am-  
bient temperature.  
The output capacitor of a switching converter absorbs the AC  
ripple current from the inductor and provides the initial re-  
sponse to a load transient. The ripple voltage at the output of  
the converter is the product of the ripple current flowing  
through the output capacitor and the impedance of the ca-  
pacitor. The impedance of the capacitor can be dominated by  
capacitive, resistive, or inductive elements within the capaci-  
tor, depending on the frequency of the ripple current. Ceramic  
capacitors have very low ESR and remain capacitive up to  
high frequencies. Their inductive component can be usually  
neglected at the frequency ranges the switcher operates.  
30112126  
Output ripple can be estimated from the vector sum of the  
reactive (capacitance) voltage component and the real (ESR)  
voltage component of the output capacitor where:

The device is designed to be used with ceramic capacitors on  
the outputs of the buck regulators. The recommended dielec-  
tric type of these capacitors is X5R, X7R, or of comparable  
material to maintain proper tolerances over voltage and tem-  
perature. The recommended value for the output capacitors  
is 22 μF, 6.3V with an ESR of 2mor less. The output ca-  
pacitors need to be mounted as close as possible to the  
output/ground pins of the device.

INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION  
A simplified “worst case” assumption is that all of the PFET  
current is supplied by the input capacitor. This will result in  
conservative estimates of input ripple voltage and capacitor  
RMS current.  
The input capacitors should be located as close as possible  
to their corresponding PVINx and PGNDx pins, where x des-  
ignates the buck 1,2 or 3. The 3 buck regulators operate at  
120° out of phase, which means that is they switch on at  
equally spaced intervals, in order to reduce the input power  
rail ripple. It is recommended to connect all the supply/ground  
pins of the buck regulators, PVIN1, 2 and 3 to two solid inter-  
nal planes located under the device. In this way, the 3 input  
capacitors work together and further reduce the input current  
ripple. A larger tantalum capacitor can also be located in the  
proximity of the device. The input capacitor supplies the AC  
switching current drawn from the switching action of the in-  
ternal power FETs. The input current of a buck converter is  
discontinuous, so the ripple current supplied by the input ca-  
pacitor is large. The input capacitor must be rated to handle  
both the RMS current and the dissipated power.  
Input ripple voltage is estimated as follows:

LARGE SIGNAL TRANSIENT  
The switching converters in the device are designed to work  
in a voltage scaling system. This requires that the converters  
have a well controlled large signal transient response. Specif-  
ically, the under- and over-shoots have to be minimal or zero  
while maintaining settling times less than 0.1 msec. Typical  
response plots are shown in section Typical Performance  
Characteristics.  
The device is designed to be used with ceramic capacitors on  
the inputs of the buck regulators. The recommended dielectric  
type of these capacitors is X5R, X7R, or of comparable ma-  
terial to maintain proper tolerances over voltage and temper-  
ature. The minimum recommended value for the input  
capacitor is 10 µF with an ESR of 10 mor less. The input  
capacitors need to be mounted as close as possible to the  
power/ground input pins of the device.  
LM10503 OPERATIONAL STATE DIAGRAM  
The device has four operating states: Startup, Active, Sleep  
and Standby; see next figure. The figure assumes that sup-  
ply voltages are in the valid range.  
The input power source supplies the average current contin-  
uously. During the PFET switch on-time, however, the de-  
manded di/dt is higher than can be typically supplied by the  
input power source. This delta is supplied by the input capac-  
itor.

FIGURE 11. LM10503 State Diagram

www.ti.com  
The Startup State is the default state of the device after pow-  
er is applied. All bucks are off and POR output is ‘0’. This state  
is entered when the external enable input pin is pulled low. It  
is a temporary state because the startup sequence is auto-  
matically executed initiated, and upon its completion, the  
device transfers into the Active State. It is possible to issue a  
Reset Command while still in Startup state, in which case the  
startup sequence will be re-started.  
Input Voltage is Too Low  
If the input voltage is too low to guarantee accurate operation  
of the device, a UVLO detector will disable the device. When  
this error condition occurs, the internal logic goes into reset  
state and stays in reset for as long as the error condition is  
still active. When the error condition is removed, the device  
enters the startup sequencing.  
Output Voltage is Too Low  
In Active State all bucks are on at their default voltages and  
If any of the output voltages are too low compared with the  
expected voltage, for example due to a short circuit, the de-  
vice will enter a hiccup mode (will continuously try to restart).  
When any of the buck ready signals of the enabled bucks drop  
from high to low for more than 1ms, a restart is triggered. The  
external POR is asserted, and all bucks are disabled and re-  
enabled again sequentially after a wait time of 200 ms.  
the POR-output pin is high. From Active State the device can:  
Go back to Start-up State by setting the ENABLE pin low  
or by issuing the Reset Command.  
Go into Sleep State by issuing the Sleep Command over  
the PWI bus.  
Go into Shutdown State by issuing the Shutdown  
Command over the PWI bus.  
Startup Takes Too Long  
In Sleep State, only the Buck 1 output voltage is off, but the  
POR output is still high. The other two bucks, Bucks 2 and 3,  
may be used to provide auxiliary voltages that need to be  
maintained during Sleep State. From the Sleep State, the de-  
vice can:  
During startup, after the bucks are enabled, a 8ms timeout  
counter is initialized. If any of the enabled bucks fails to return  
the OK signal within 8ms, it triggers a shutdown of all bucks.  
All bucks are disabled for 200 ms and re-enabled again se-  
quentially.  
Be re-activated (go into Active State), by using the Wake-  
up Command. This resumes the power on default state  
configuration and voltages may need to be changed by  
firmware.  
Output Voltage is Too Low  
If any of the output voltages are too low compared with the  
expected voltage, for example due to a short circuit, the de-  
vice will enter a hiccup mode (will continuously try to restart).  
Go into Shutdown State by issuing the Shutdown  
Command over the PWI bus.  
Go into to Start-up State by setting the ENABLE pin low or  
by issuing the Reset Command.  
When any of the buck ready signals of the enabled bucks drop  
from high to low for more than 1ms, a restart is triggered. The  
external POR is asserted, and all bucks are disabled and re-  
enabled again sequentially after a wait time of 200 ms.  
In Shutdown State, all buck regulators are off, and POR is  
low. This state has the lowest power consumption. The device  
can enter the Shutdown State by using the Shutdown Com-  
mand, or by setting ENABLE to ‘0’. The device can exit the  
Shutdown State and go into Startup State by:  
Die Temperature is Too High  
If the die junction temperature is too high, the device is auto-  
matically disabled to prevent damage. When this error con-  
dition occurs, the internal logic goes into reset state and stays  
in reset for as long as the error condition is still active. When  
the error condition is removed, the device enters the startup  
sequencing.

disabled in order to use the Multi-Function Pin as a compara-  
tor input pin. For accurate ADC measurements, a pin should  
only be configured as ADC input. The following figure shows  
a simplified block diagram of the Multi Function Port.  
Limitation: the same MFP pin should not simultaneously be  
configured as comparator and GPO, in which case the later  
takes precedence. In other words, the GPO function must be  
30112118  
FIGURE 12. MFP Block Diagram  
The comparator can generate an “edge” type interrupt, not a  
“level” interrupt. The comparator can not be used to immedi-  
ately determine if the signal presented on the input is higher  
or lower than the VREF. It requires the input signal to change  
in time, i.e. to increase/decrease above/below the VREF, as  
configured by the polarity bit in R17. The comparator function  
is best used for a very slow changing event as for example  
the charging or discharging of a battery or supercapacitor, in  
which case an interrupt will be generated when the compara-  
tor trips. This method is more efficient than a continuous  
polling of a comparator or of an ADC. If the system designer  
needs to know the value of voltage presented on one of the  
MFP pins, it should use the ADC function to do an actual ADC  
measurement.

ternal reference voltage. After an initial 2ms warm-up for the  
first activation of the ADC enable bit, the dual-slope converter  
integrates the input signal during the first phase for approxi-  
mately 2 ms, followed by a second phase that integrates  
VREF for 0 ms to 2 ms depending on the level of the input  
signal. As a result the total conversion time varies from 2 ms  
to 4 ms.  
Analog-to-Digital Converter  
The device is equipped with an 8-bit dual-slope integrating  
analog to digital converter. A dual-slope converter does not  
require a sample and hold stage and provides an effective  
filtering of the input signal noise components that are outside  
the range of 125 kHz to 500 kHz. The ADC digitizes the input  
signal ranging from VREF to 2*VREF, where VREF is the in-

The ADC has a 4-channel multiplexer on the input that allows  
the system designer to assign any of the MFP0-3 pins as ADC  
inputs.  
the correct ADC source before a conversion is started. The  
ADC will set bit 4 of R11 (DATARDY) upon the completion of  
a conversion, which is 2-4ms after the start of the conversion.  
At the same time, an interrupt request will be generated. (See  
Interrupt Request Register).  
The voltage applied on MFP0-3 pins must match the input  
working voltage of the ADC: VREF to 2VREF. This can be  
accomplished by using external resistor dividers. To allow  
maximum flexibility, there are no internal resistor dividers.  
To save power, disable the ADC by setting bit 2 of R11 to 0  
(ADCEN). To initiate the start of a new conversion, or to make  
repetitive starts, set bit 3 of R11 (ADCSTART) to 0 then to 1.  
The interrupt driven protocol between the part and the system  
processor is the most efficient way to acquire data from suc-  
cessive measurements, as shown in the following flowchart.  
The ADC block includes its own reference which is enabled  
when the EN pin is high. This allows a quick startup time of  
the ADC after the ADCEN bit was set. The power consump-  
tion of the reference is about 50uA typical as it can be moni-  
tored on the VDDADC pin. This current can be reduced to a  
few uA by disabling the part either by driving EN low or by  
executing a SHUTDOWN command. Please note that AD-  
CEN bit must be set to zero prior to executing a SHUTDOWN  
command.  
The input impedance of the ADC is about 3M, therefore the  
external resistor divider must be designed accordingly in or-  
der to reduce the error it can cause.  
The system designer can use these ADC inputs for general  
purpose applications such as power rail measurements, re-  
sistive keyboard matrix scanning, temperature measure-  
ments, load currents, etc. The source selection and the  
access to the conversion results are established through the  
registers described in the Register Map section.

MFP3:0 pin, if configured as comparator, will generate an interrupt if this bit is set 1.  
All interrupt sources can be masked by the Interrupt Mask  
Register R13. Masking the interrupt prevents the interrupt  
event from asserting the IRQ pin, yet the event will still be  
captured in the IRQ register, which allows the processor to  
poll the interrupt sources. After an active low IRQ has been  
detected by the system processor, the latter services the in-  
terrupt and will access the IRQ register to determine which  
source(s) was (were) responsible for the interrupt request. To  
clear the IRQ register, a logic 1 must be written to the same  
location. Writing a logic 0 is disregarded. The interrupts are  
not hardware prioritized. In case more than one Interrupt Re-  
quest is set, the priority must be determined by the system  
firmware.

The figure below provides a better approximation of the θJA  
for a given PCB copper area. The PCB heatsink area consists  
of 2oz. copper located on the bottom layer of the PCB directly  
under the exposed pad. The bottom copper area is connected  
to the exposed pad by means of a 4 x 4 array of 12 mil thermal  
vias.  
Thermal Considerations  
The thermal characteristics of the device are specified using  
the parameter θJA, which relates the junction temperature to  
the ambient temperature. Although the value of θJA is depen-  
dent on many variables, it still can be used to approximate the  
operating junction temperature of the device. To obtain an  
estimate of the device junction temperature, one may use the  
following relationship:  
TJ = PD x θJA + TA where:  
PD is the total power dissipation of the device;  
TJ is the junction temperature in °C;  
ꢀθJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the de-  
vice;  
TA is the ambient temperature in °C.  
It is important to always keep the operating junction temper-  
ature (TJ) below 105°C for reliable operation. If the junction  
temperature exceeds 160°C the device will cycle in and out  
of thermal shutdown. If thermal shutdown occurs it is a sign  
of inadequate heat sinking or excessive power dissipation in  
the device.

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss in the traces. These  
can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting  
in poor regulation or instability. Good layout can be imple-  
mented by following a few simple design rules.  
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter de-  
sign. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DC-  
DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI,

Sensitive Nodes  
1. Minimize area of switched current loops. In a buck  
regulator there are two loops where currents are  
close to the FB pin and not to the output capacitor to  
improve noise immunity.  
switched rapidly. The first loop starts from the CIN input  
capacitor, to the regulator PVIN pin, to the regulator SW  
pin, to the inductor then out to the output capacitor  
COUT and load. The second loop starts from the output  
capacitor ground, to the regulator PGND pins, to the  
inductor and then out to COUT and the load (see figure  
above). To minimize both loop areas the input capacitor  
should be placed as close as possible to the PVIN pin.  
Grounding for both the input and output capacitors  
should consist of a small localized top side plane that  
connects to PGND and the die attach pad (DAP). The  
inductor should be placed as close as possible to the SW  
pin and output capacitor.  
5. Make input and output bus connections as wide as  
possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the input or  
output of the converter and can improve efficiency. If  
voltage accuracy at the load is important make sure  
feedback voltage sense is made at the load. Doing so will  
correct for voltage drops at the load and provide the best  
output accuracy.  
6. Provide adequate device heat sinking. Use as many vias  
as possible to connect the DAP to the power plane(s)  
heat sink. A recommended arrangement is a 4x4 via  
array with a minimum via diameter of 12 mils. See the  
Thermal Considerations section to make sure enough  
copper heat sinking area is used to keep the junction  
temperature below 105°C.  
2. Minimize the copper area of the switch node. The SW  
pins should be directly connected with a trace that runs  
on top side directly to the inductor. To minimize IR losses  
this trace should be as short as possible and with a  
sufficient width. However, a trace that is wider than 100  
mils will increase the copper area and cause too much  
capacitive loading on the SW pin. The inductors should  
be placed as close as possible to the SW pins to further  
minimize the copper area of the switch node.  
3. Have a single point ground for all device analog grounds  
located under the DAP. The ground connections for the  
feedback and external ADC components should be  
connected together then routed to the AGND pin of the  
device. The AGND pin should connect to PGND under  
the DAP. This prevents any switched or load currents  
from flowing in the analog ground plane. If not properly  
handled, poor grounding can result in degraded load  
regulation or erratic switching behavior.  
4. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Since the feedback  
node can have high impedance, the trace from the output  
resistor divider to FB pin should be as short as possible.  
This is most important when high value resistors are used  
to set the output voltage. The feedback trace should be  
routed away from the SW pin and inductor to avoid  
contaminating the feedback signal with switch noise.

In both SLOW-RAMP and FAST-RAMP modes, the operation is as follows:  
Ramp-up will have a maximum of 8 voltage codes per step (4mV/code * 8 codes  
= 32mV), but will have less voltage codes (4 or 2 or 1) if within 8 voltage codes of  
the target level. A full ramp-up from 7'h00 to 7'h7F will take ~144 µs for ramp mode

Ramp-down will have a maximum of 4 voltage codes per step (4mV/code * 4 codes  
= 16 mV), but will have a single voltage code if within 4 voltage codes of the target  
level. A full ramp-down from 7'h7F to 7'h00 will take ~272 µs for ramp mode 0 and

The comparator is an edge triggered comparator, i.e. it  
checks for the input transition crossing the reference voltage  
level. The direction of the transition can be configured by the  
polarity bits in register R17. When a transition crossing the  
reference is detected, the corresponding comparator tripped  
bit in the R14 Interrupt Status Register is set. Once the com-  
parator is tripped, the Comparator Enable bit must be set to  
‘0’ to reset the comparator logic, and then set to ‘1’ to re-arm  
for the next compare.  
A number of 4 consecutive samples are required to validate  
the tripping after the comparator output changes state. The  
sampling interval is configured by the select bits in register  
R16. The GPO function must be disabled in order to use the
