LM10506  
Triple Buck + LDO Power Management Unit  
1.0 General Description  
3.0 Features  
The LM10506 is an advanced PMU containing three config-  
urable, high-efficiency buck regulators for supplying variable  
voltages. The device is ideal for supporting ASIC and SOC  
designs for Solid-State and Flash drives.  
Three highly efficient programmable buck regulators  
Integrated FETs with low RDSON  
Bucks operate with their phases shifted to reduce the  
input current ripple and capacitor size  
The LM10506 operates cooperatively with ASIC to optimize  
the supply voltage for low-power conditions and Power Sav-  
ing modes via the SPI interface. It also supports a 100 mA  
LDO and a programmable Interrupt Comparator.  
Programmable Output Voltage via the SPI interface  
Overvoltage and Undervoltage Lockout  
Automatic internal soft start with Power-on reset  
Current overload and thermal shutdown protection  
Bypass mode available on Bucks 1 and 2

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: Specification guaranteed by design. Not tested during production.  
Note 3: All limits are guaranteed by design, test and/or statistical analysis. All electrical characteristics having room-temperature limits are tested during production  
with TJ = 25°C. All hot and cold limits are guaranteed by correlating the electrical characteristics to process and temperature variations and applying statistical  
process control.  
Note 4: Capacitors: Low-ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are used in setting electrical characteristics.  
Note 5: Internal thermal shutdown protects device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = +140°C and disengages at TJ = +120°C (typ.).  
Thermal shutdown is guaranteed by design.  
Note 6: BUCK normal operation is guaranteed if VIN VOUT+1.0V.  
Note 7: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor 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 = +125°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 8: 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, 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.)

from a single power source. The device also includes a SPI-  
programmable Comparator Block that provides an interrupt  
output signal.  
19.0 General Description  
LM10506 is a highly efficient and integrated Power Manage-  
ment Unit for Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs), ASICs, and pro-  
cessors. It operates cooperatively and communicates with  
processors over an SPI interface with output Voltage pro-  
grammability and Standby Mode.

19.1 SPI DATA INTERFACE  
By accessing the registers in the device through this interface,  
the user can get access and control the operation of the buck  
controllers and program the reference voltage of the com-  
parator in the device.  
The device is programmable via 4-wire SPI Interface. The  
signals associated with this interface are CS, DI, DO and CLK.  
Through this interface, the user can enable/disable the de-  
vice, program the output voltages of the individual Bucks and  
of course read the status of Flag registers.

19.2 BUCK REGULATORS OPERATION  
ing NFET connected between the output and ground and a  
feedback path. The following figure shows the block diagram  
of each of the three buck regulators integrated in the device.  
A buck converter contains a control block, a switching PFET  
connected between input and output, a synchronous rectify-  
30166208  
FIGURE 4. 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.  
of the output. The lowest input to output dropout voltage is  
achieved by keeping the PMOS switch on.  
Additional features include soft-start, undervoltage lockout,  
bypass, and current and thermal overload protection. To re-  
duce the input current ripple, the device employs a control  
circuit that operates the 3 bucks at 120° phase. These bucks  
are nearly identical in performance and mode of operation.  
They can operate in FPWM (forced PWM) or automatic mode  
(PWM/PFM).  
19.2.2 PWM Operation  
During PWM operation the converter operates as a voltage-  
mode controller with input voltage feed forward. This allows  
the converter to achieve excellent load and line regulation.  
The DC gain of the power stage is proportional to the input  
voltage. To eliminate this dependence, a feed forward voltage  
inversely proportional to the input voltage is introduced.  
The output filter stores charge when the inductor current is  
high, and releases it when low, smoothing the voltage across  
the load. The output voltage 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 rec-  
tifier 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.  
In Forced PWM Mode the bucks always operate in PWM  
mode regardless of the output current.  
In Automatic Mode, if the output current is less than 70 mA  
(typ.), the bucks automatically transition into PFM (Pulse Fre-  
quency Modulation) operation to reduce the current con-  
sumption. At higher than 100 mA (typ.) they operate in PWM  
mode. This increases the efficiency at lower output currents.  
The 30 mA (typ.) hysteresis is designed in for stable Mode  
transition.  
19.2.1 Buck Regulators Description  
The LM10506 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.  
While in PWM mode, the output voltage is regulated by  
switching at a constant frequency and then modulating the  
energy per cycle to control power to the load. At the beginning  
of each clock cycle the PFET switch is turned on, and the  
inductor current ramps up until the comparator trips and the  
control logic turns off the switch. The current limit comparator  
can also turn off the switch in case the current limit of the  
PFET is exceeded. In this case the NFET switch is turned on  
and the inductor current ramps down. The next cycle is initi-  
ated by the clock turning off the NFET and turning on the  
PFET.  
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 internally compensated to be stable with the rec-  
ommended external inductors and capacitors as detailed in  
the application 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

FIGURE 5. PFM vs PWM Operation  
19.2.3 PFM Operation (Bucks 1, 2 & 3)  
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.  
At very light loads, Buck 1, 2 and Buck 3 enter PFM mode and  
operate with reduced switching frequency and supply current  
to maintain high efficiency.  
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.  
Buck 1, 2 and 3 will automatically transition into PFM mode  
when either of two conditions occurs for a duration of 32 or  
more clock cycles:  
1. The inductor current becomes discontinuous, or  
2. The peak PMOS switch current drops below the IMODE  
level.  
19.2.4 Soft Start  
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 startup stresses and surges. During start-  
up, the switch current limit is increased in steps.  
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 IPFM level set for PFM mode.  
For Buck 1, 2 and 3 the soft start is implemented by increas-  
ing the switch current limit in steps that are gradually set  
higher. The startup time depends on the output capacitor size,  
load current and output voltage. Typical startup time with the  
recommended output capacitor of 10 µF is 0.2 to 1ms. It is  
expected that in the final application the load current condition  
will be more likely in the lower load current range during the  
start up.  
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 5), 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  
‘idle’ mode is less than 100 µA, which allows the part to  
19.2.5 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.

19.2.6 Internal Synchronous Rectification  
bypass mode or standard switching regulation is constantly  
monitored while the regulators are enabled. If at any time the  
input voltage goes above 3.5V (2.6V for Buck 2) while in by-  
pass mode, the regulators will transition to normal 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.  
When the bypass mode is enabled, the output voltage of the  
buck that is in bypass mode is not regulated, but instead, the  
output voltage follows the input voltage minus the voltage  
drop seen across the FET and DCR of the inductor. The volt-  
age drop is a direct result of the current flowing across those  
resistive elements. When Buck 1 transitions into bypass  
mode, there is an extra FET used in parallel along with the  
high side FET for transmission of the current to the load. This  
added FET will help reduce the resistance seen by the load  
and decrease the voltage drop. For Buck 2, the bypass func-  
tion uses the same high side FET.  
19.2.7 Bypass-FET Operation on Buck 1 and Buck 2  
There is an additional bypass FET used on Buck 1. The FET  
is connected in parallel to High Side FET and inductor. Buck  
2 has no extra bypass FET – it uses High Side FET (PFET)  
for bypass operation. If Buck 1 input voltage is greater than  
3.5V (2.6V for Buck 2), the bypass function is disabled. The  
determination of whether or not the Buck regulators are in

19.2.8 Low Dropout Operation  
The minimum input voltage needed to support the output volt-  
age:  
The device can operate at 100% duty cycle (no switching;  
PMOS switch completely on) for low dropout 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.  
VIN_MIN=VOUT+ILOAD*(RDSON_PFET+RIND), where

side) switch in the triode region

The startup mode of the LM10506 will depend on the input  
voltage. Once VIN reaches the UVLO threshold, there is a 15  
msec delay before the LM10506 determines how to set up the  
buck regulators. If VIN is below 3.6V, then Buck 1 and Buck 2  
will be in bypass mode, see Section 19.2.7 Bypass-FET Op-  
eration on Buck 1 and Buck 2 for functionality description. If  
the VIN voltage is greater than 3.6V the bucks will start up as  
the standard regulators. The 3 buck regulators are staggered  
during startup to avoid large inrush currents. There is a fixed  
delay of 2 msec between the startup of each regulator.

age settings on the regulators will go back to their default  
states.  
The device is always enabled and the LDO is always on, un-  
less outside of operating voltage range. There is no LM10506  
Enable Pin. Once VIN reaches a minimum required input Volt-  
age the power-up sequence will be started automatically and  
the startup sequence will be initiated. Once the device is  
started, the output voltage of the Bucks 1 and 2 can be indi-  
vidually disabled by accessing their corresponding BKEN  
register bits (BUCK CONTROL).  
20.4 STANDBY: FUNCTION  
The Device can be programmed into Standby mode. There  
are 2 ways for doing that:  
1. STANDBY pin  
2. Programming via SPI  
20.4.1 STANDBY Pin  
20.3 RESET: PIN FUNCTION  
When the STANDBY pin is asserted high, the LM10506 will  
enter Standby Mode. While in Standby Mode, Buck 1 and  
Buck 2 are disabled. Buck 3’s output voltage is transitioned  
to the PSML (Programmable Standby Mode Level) as set by  
The RESET pin is internally pulled high. If the reset pin is  
pulled low, the device will perform a complete reset of all the  
registers to their default states. This means that all of the volt-  
25

register 0x09. The STANDBY pin is internally pulled down,  
and there is a 1 second delay during powerup before the state  
of the STANDBY pin is checked. Note: If Buck 1 and Buck 2  
are already disabled, and the STANDBY pin is asserted high,  
then Buck 3 will not go to PSML – for further instructions, see  
Section 20.4.2 STANDBY Programming via SPI.  
unstable operation, the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) has a  
hysteresis window of about 300 mV. An UVLO will force the  
device into the reset state, all internal registers are reset.  
Once the supply voltage is above the UVLO hysteresis, the  
device will initiate a power-up sequence and then enter the  
active state.  
Bucks 1 and 2 will be ramped down when the disable signal  
is given. Buck 1 starts ramping 2ms after Buck 2 has started  
ramping.  
Buck 1 and Buck 2 will remain in bypass mode after VIN pass-  
es the UVLO until VIN reaches approximately 1.9V. When  
Buck 2 is set to 1.8V, the voltage will jump from 1.8V to  
VUVLO_FALLING, and then follow VIN.  
Entering Standby Sequence will be:  
1. Buck 3 PSML (Programmable Standby Mode Level)  
2. 2 msec delay  
The LDO and the Comparator will remain functional past the  
UVLO threshold until VIN reaches approximately 2.25V.  
3. Buck 2 Disabled  
20.7 OVERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (OVLO)  
4. 2 msec delay  
The VIN voltage is monitored for a supply over voltage condi-  
tion, for which the operation of the device cannot be guaran-  
teed. The purpose of overvoltage lockout (OVLO) is to protect  
the part and all other consumers connected to the PMU out-  
puts from any damage and malfunction. Once VIN rises over  
5.7V all the Bucks, and LDO will be disabled automatically.  
To prevent unstable operation, the OVLO has a hysteresis  
window of about 100 mV. An OVLO will force the device into  
the reset state; all internal registers are reset. Once the supply  
voltage is below the OVLO hysteresis, the device will initiate  
a power-up sequence, and then enter the active state. Oper-  
ating maximum input voltage at which parameters are guar-  
anteed is 5.5V. Absolute maximum of the device is 6.0V.  
5. Buck 1 Disabled  
An internal 22 kpull down resistor (±30%) is attached to the  
FB pin of Buck 1 and Buck 2. Buck 1 and 2 outputs are pulled  
to ground level when they are disabled to discharge any  
residual charge present in the output circuitry. When STAND-  
BY transitions to a low, Buck 1 is again enabled followed by  
Buck 2. Buck 3 will go back to its previous state.  
When waking up from Standby, the sequence will be:  
1. Buck 1 Previous State  
2. 2 msec delay  
3. Buck 2 and Buck 3 transition together Previous State  
20.8 DEVICE STATUS, INTERRUPT ENABLE  
20.4.2 STANDBY Programming via SPI  
The LM10506 has 2 interrupt registers, INTERRUPT EN-  
ABLE and INTERRUPT STATUS. These registers can be  
read via the serial interface. The interrupts are not latched to  
the register and will always represent the current state and  
will not be cleared on a read.  
There is no bit which has the same function as STANDBY  
PIN. There is only one requirement programming LM10506  
into Standby Mode via SPI. Setting LDO Sleep Mode bit high  
must be the last move when entering Standby Mode and pro-  
gramming the bit low when waking from Standby Mode must  
be the first move. Disabling or programming the Bucks to new  
level is the user’s decision based on power consumption and  
other requirements.  
If interrupt condition is detected, then corresponding bit in the  
INTERRUPT STATUS register (0x0D) is set to '1', and IRQ  
output is asserted. There are 5 interrupt generating condi-  
tions:  
The following section describes how to program the chip into  
Standby Mode corresponding to STANDBY PIN function. To  
program the LM10506 to Standby Mode via SPI Buck 1 and  
Buck 2 must be disabled by host device (Register 0x0A bit 1  
and 0). Buck 3 must be programmed to desired level using  
Register 0x00. After Buck 3 has finished ramping LDO Sleep  
Mode bit must be set high (Register 0x0E bit 1). To wake  
LM10506 from Standby Mode LDO Sleep Mode bit must be  
set low (Register 0x0E bit 1). Buck 1 and 2 must be enabled.  
Buck 3 voltage must be programmed to previous output level.  
Buck 3 output is over flag level (90% when rising, 85%  
when falling)  
Buck 2 output is over flag level (90% when rising, 85%  
when falling)  
Buck 1 output is over flag level (90% when rising, 85%  
when falling)  
LDO is over flag level (90% when rising, 85% when falling  
Comparator input voltage crosses over selected threshold  
Reading the interrupt register will not release IRQ output. In-  
terrupt generation conditions can be individually enabled or  
disabled by writing respective bits in INTERRUPT ENABLE  
register (0x0C) to '1' or '0'.  
20.5 HL_B2, HL_B3 FUNCTION  
The HL_B2/3 pins are digital pins which control alternate volt-  
age selections of Buck 2 and Buck 3, respectively. HL_B2 has  
an internal pulldown which defaults to a 1.8V output voltage  
selection for Buck 2. Alternatively, if HL_B2 is driven high, an  
output voltage of 3.0V (or 2.0V for LM10506-A) is selected.  
HL_B3 has an internal pullup which defaults to a 1.2V output  
voltage selection for Buck 3. Alternatively, if HL_B3 is driven  
low, an output voltage of 1.0V is selected. The pullup resistor  
is connected to the main input voltage. Transitions of the pins  
will not affect the output voltage, the state is only checked  
during startup.  
20.9 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. In reset, all circuitry  
is disabled. To prevent unstable 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 powerup sequence and then enter the active state. In the  
active state, the part will start up as if for the first time, all  
registers will be in their default state.  
20.6 UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)  
The VIN voltage 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 disable Buck 3. To prevent

20.10 COMPARATOR  
output is high if the VCOMP value is less than the threshold  
level. If IRQ_polarity = 1 Active high is selected then the  
output is high if VCOMP value is greater than the threshold lev-  
el. The output is low if the VCOMP value is less than the  
threshold level. There is some hysteresis when VCOMP tran-  
sitions from high to low, typically 60 mV. There is a control bit  
in register 0x0B, comparator control, that can double the hys-  
teresis value.  
The comparator on the LM10506 takes its inputs from the  
VCOMP pin and an internal threshold level which is pro-  
grammed by the user. The threshold level is programmable

21.2.1 Recommended Method for Inductor Selection:  
21.0 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  
achieve stable operation. The output voltages of the bucks  
can be programmed through the SPI pins.  
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 tables. In this case the device  
will prevent inductor saturation by going into current limit be-  
fore the saturation level is reached.  
21.2.2 Alternate Method for Inductor Selection:  
If the recommended approach cannot be used care must be  
taken to guarantee that the saturation current is greater than  
the peak inductor current:  
21.1 OUTPUT INDUCTORS & CAPACITORS SELECTION  
There are several design considerations related to the selec-  
tion of output inductors and capacitors:  
Load transient response  
Stability  
Efficiency  
Output ripple voltage  
Over current ruggedness  
The device has been optimized for use with nominal LC val-  
ues as shown in the Typical Application Circuit (page 1).  
21.2 INDUCTOR SELECTION  
ISAT  
:
Inductor saturation current at operating tempera-  
ture  
The recommended inductor values are shown in Section 5.0  
Typical Application Diagram. It is important to guarantee the  
inductor core does not saturate during any foreseeable oper-  
ational situation. The inductor should be rated to handle the  
peak load current plus the ripple current:  
ILPEAK  
:
Peak inductor current during worst case conditions  
IOUTMAX: Maximum average inductor current  
IRIPPLE  
:

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.

21.2.2.1 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.  
There are two methods to choose the inductor saturation cur-  
rent rating:

21.2.3 OUTPUT AND INPUT CAPACITORS  
CHARACTERISTICS  
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.  
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.  
21.2.3.1 Output Capacitor Selection  
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 usually be  
neglected at the frequency ranges at which the switcher op-  
erates.  
30166215  
FIGURE 7. Typical Variation in Capacitance vs.  
DC Bias  
30166216  
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.  
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 1µF are  
manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics.  
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.  
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.  
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

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.

21.2.3.2 Input Capacitor Selection  
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.  
There are 3 buck regulators in the LM10506 device. Each of  
these buck regulators has its own input capacitor which  
should be located as close as possible to their corresponding  
SWx_VIN and SWx_GND pins, where x designates Buck 1,  
2 or 3. The 3 buck regulators operate at 120° out of phase,  
which means that they switch on at equally spaced intervals,  
in order to reduce the input power rail ripple. It is recommend-  
ed to connect all the supply/ground pins of the buck regula-  
tors, SWx_VIN to two solid internal planes located under the  
device. In this way, the 3 input capacitors work together and  
further reduce the input current ripple. A larger tantalum ca-  
pacitor can also be located in the proximity of the device.  
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.  
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.  
Input ripple voltage is estimated as follows:  
The input capacitor supplies the AC switching current drawn  
from the switching action of the internal power FETs. The in-  
put current of a buck converter is discontinuous, so the ripple  
current supplied by the input capacitor is large. The input ca-  
pacitor must be rated to handle both the RMS current and the  
dissipated power.

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.  
22.0 PCB Layout Considerations  
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,

switched rapidly. The first loop starts from the CIN input  
capacitor, to the regulator SWx_VIN 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 SWx_GND 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 VIN pin.  
Grounding for both the input and output capacitors  
should consist of a small localized top side plane that  
connects to PGND. The inductor should be placed as  
close as possible to the SW pin and output capacitor.  
3. Have a single point ground for all device analog grounds.  
The ground connections for the feedback components  
should be connected together then routed to the GND pin  
of the device. 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. The feedback trace  
should be routed away from the SW pin and inductor to  
avoid contaminating the feedback signal with switch  
noise.  
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.  
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
