DataSheeT - enpirion(R) power solutions EN6310QA 1A PowerSoC Step-Down DC-DC Switching Converter with Integrated Inductor DESCRIPTION The EN6310QA is a member of Intel Enpirion's high efficiency EN6300 family of PowerSoCs. The EN6310QA is a 1A PowerSoC that is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. The EN6310QA employs Intel Enpirion's EDMOS MOSFET technology for monolithic integration and very low switching loss. The device switches at 2.2MHz in fixed PWM operation to eliminate the low frequency noise that is created by pulse frequency modulation operating modes. The MOSFET ratios are optimized to offer high conversion efficiency for lower VOUT settings. Output voltage settings are programmable via a simple resistor divider circuit. Output voltage can be programmed from as low as 0.6V to 3.3V. The device has a programmable soft-start ramp rate to accommodate sequencing and to prevent un-wanted current inrush at start up. A Power OK (POK) flag is provided to indicate a fault condition. The Intel Enpirion power solution significantly helps in system design and productivity by offering greatly simplified board design, layout and manufacturing requirements. In addition, a reduction in the number of vendors required for the complete power solution helps to enable an overall system cost savings.

Functional Block Diagram Page 13 14060 January 18, 2019 Rev F Datasheet | Intel(R) Enpirion(R) Power Solutions: EN6310QA FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Synchronous DC-DC Step-Down PowerSoC The EN6310QA is a synchronous buck converter with integrated MOSFET switches and Inductor. The device can deliver up to 1A of continuous load current. The EN6310QA has a programmable soft start rise time and a power OK (POK) signal. The device operates in a fixed 2.2MHz PWM mode to eliminate noise associated with pulse frequency modulation schemes. The control topology is a low complexity type IV voltage mode providing high noise immunity and stability over the entire operating range. Output voltage is set with a simple resistor divider. The high switching frequency enables the use of small MLCC input and output filter capacitors. Figure 4 shows the EN6310QA block diagram. Operational Features: The EN6310QA has the following protection features. * * * * Over-current protection (to protect the IC from excessive load current) Short-Circuit protection Thermal shutdown with hysteresis Under-voltage lockout circuit to disable the converter output when the input voltage is below a predefined level Protection Features: * Soft-start circuit, limiting the in-rush current when the converter is initially powered up. The soft start time is programmable with appropriate choice of soft start capacitor value. High Efficiency Technology The key enabler of this revolutionary integration is Enpirion's proprietary power MOSFET technology. The advanced MOSFET switches are implemented in deep-submicron CMOS to supply very low switching loss at high switching frequencies and to allow a high level of integration. The semiconductor process allows seamless integration of all switching, control, and compensation circuitry. The proprietary magnetics design provides high-density/high-value magnetics in a very small footprint. Enpirion magnetics are carefully matched to the control and compensation circuitry yielding an optimal solution with assured performance over the entire operating range. Integration for Low-Noise Low-EMI The EN6310QA utilizes a proprietary low loss integrated inductor. The integration of the inductor greatly simplifies the power supply design process. The inherent shielding and compact construction of the integrated inductor reduces the conducted and radiated noise that can couple into the traces of the printed circuit board. Furthermore, the package layout is optimized to reduce the electrical path length for the high di/dt input AC ripple currents that are a major source of radiated emissions from DC-DC converters. Careful package and IC design minimize common mode noise that can be difficult to mitigate otherwise. The integrated inductor provides the optimal solution to the complexity, output ripple, and noise that plague low power DC-DC converter design. Page 14 14060 January 18, 2019 Rev F Datasheet | Intel(R) Enpirion(R) Power Solutions: EN6310QA Control Topology The EN6310QA utilizes an internal type IV voltage mode compensation scheme. Voltage mode control provides a high degree of noise immunity at light load currents so that low ripple and high accuracy are maintained over the entire load range. The high switching frequency allows for a very wide control loop bandwidth and hence excellent transient performance. The EN6310QA is optimized for fast transient recovery for applications with demanding transient performance. Voltage mode control enables a high degree of stability over the entire operating range. Enable The EN6310QA ENABLE pin enables and disables operation of the device. A logic low will disable the converter and cause it to shut down. A logic high will enable the converter and initiate a normal soft start operation. When ENABLE is pulled low, the Power MOSFETs stop switching and the output is discharged in a controlled manner with a soft pull down MOSFET. Once the enable pin is pulled low, there is a lockout period before the device can be re-enabled. The lock out period can be found in the Electrical Characteristics Table. Do not leave ENABLE pin floating or it will be in an unknown random state. The EN6310QA supports startup into a pre-biased output of up to 1.5V. The output of the EN6310QA can be pre-biased with a voltage up to 1.5V when it is first enabled. POK Operation The POK signal is an open drain signal (requires a pull up resistor to AVIN or similar voltage) from the converter indicating the output voltage is within the specified range. Typically, a 100k or lower resistance is used as the pull-up resistor. The POK signal will be logic high (AVIN) when the output voltage is above 90% of the programmed voltage level. If the output voltage is below this point, the POK signal will be a logic low. The POK will also be a logic low if the input voltage is in UVLO or if the ENABLE is pulled low. The POK signal can be used to sequence down-stream converters by tying to their enable pins. Programmable Soft Start Operation Soft start is externally programmable by adjusting the value of the CSS capacitor, which is placed between the respective CSS pin and AGND pin. When the enable pin is pulled high, the output will ramp up monotonically at a rate determined by the CSS capacitor. Soft start ramp time is programmable over a range of 0.5ms to 10ms. The longer ramp times allow startup into very large bulk capacitors that may be present in applications such as wireless broadband or solid state storage, without triggering an Over Current condition. The rise time is given as: TRISE [ms] = CSS [nF] x 0.65 25% NOTE: Rise time does not include capacitor tolerances. If a 10nF soft-start capacitor is used, then the output voltage rise time will be around 6.5ms. The rise time is measured from when VIN VUVLOR and ENABLE pin voltage crosses its logic high threshold to when VOUT reaches its programmed value. Page 15 14060 January 18, 2019 Rev F Datasheet | Intel(R) Enpirion(R) Power Solutions: EN6310QA Over Current/Short Circuit Protection The current limit and short-circuit protection is achieved by sensing the current flowing through a sense PFET. When the sensed current exceeds the current limit, both NFET and PFET switches are turned off and the output is discharged. After 1.6ms the device will be re-enabled and will then go through a normal soft-start cycle. If the over current condition persists, the device will enter a hiccup mode. Under Voltage Lockout During initial power up an under voltage lockout circuit will hold-off the switching circuitry until the input voltage reaches a sufficient level to insure proper operation. If the voltage drops below the UVLO threshold, the lockout circuitry will again disable the switching. Hysteresis is included to prevent chattering between states. Thermal Shutdown When excess power is dissipated in the EN6310QA the junction temperature will rise. Once the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature the thermal shutdown circuit turns off the converter output voltage thus allowing the device to cool. When the junction temperature decreases to a safe operating level, the part will go through the normal startup process. The thermal shutdown temperature and hysteresis values can be found in The electrical characteristics table. Page 16 14060 January 18, 2019 Rev F Datasheet | Intel(R) Enpirion(R) Power Solutions: EN6310QA APPLICATION INFORMATION Output Voltage Setting The EN6310QA output voltage is programmed using a simple resistor divider network (RA and RB). The feedback voltage at VFB is nominally 0.6V. RA is fixed at 200k and RB can be calculated based on Figure 5. The values recommended for COUT, CA, and RCA make up the external compensation of the EN6310QA. It will vary with each VIN and VOUT combination to optimize on performance. Please see Table 1 for a list of recommended RA, CA, RCA, and COUT values for each solution. Since VFB is a sensitive node, do not touch the VFB node while the device is in operation as doing so may introduce parasitic capacitance into the control loop that causes the device to behave abnormally and damage may occur.

Low-cost, lowESR ceramic capacitors should be used as input capacitors for this converter. The dielectric must be X5R or X7R rated. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations must not be used as these lose too much capacitance with frequency, temperature and bias voltage. In some applications, lower value capacitors are needed in parallel with the larger capacitors in order to provide high frequency decoupling. Table 2 contains a list of recommended input capacitors.

Low ESR ceramic capacitors are required with X7R rated dielectric formulation. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations must not be used as these lose too much capacitance with frequency, temperature and bias voltage. Table 3 contains a list of recommended output capacitors.

Whenever there are power losses in a system, the heat that is generated by the power dissipation needs to be accounted for. The Enpirion PowerSoC helps alleviate some of those concerns. Intel Enpirion EN6310QA DC-DC converter is packaged in a 4x5x1.85mm 30-pin QFN package. The QFN package is constructed with copper lead frames that have exposed thermal pads. The exposed thermal pad on the package should be soldered directly on to a copper ground pad on the printed circuit board (PCB) to act as a heat sink. The recommended maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is 125C. Continuous operation above 125C may reduce long-term reliability. The device has a thermal overload protection circuit designed to turn off the device at an approximate junction temperature value of 140C. The following example and calculations illustrate the thermal performance of the EN6310QA. Example: VIN = 5V VOUT = 3.3V IOUT = 1A First calculate the output power. POUT = 3.3V x 1A = 3.3W Next, determine the input power based on the efficiency () shown in Figure 6. Efficiency vs. Output Current 100 95 EFFICIENCY (%) 90 85 80 75 70 65 60 55 VOUT = 3.3V 50 0 CONDITIONS VIN = 5.0V 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 OUTPUT CURRENT (A) Figure 6: Efficiency vs. Output Current Page 20 14060 January 18, 2019 Rev F Datasheet | Intel(R) Enpirion(R) Power Solutions: EN6310QA For VIN = 5V, VOUT = 3.3V at 1A, 91% = POUT / PIN = 91% = 0.91 PIN = POUT / PIN 3.3W / 0.91 3.63W The power dissipation (PD) is the power loss in the system and can be calculated by subtracting the output power from the input power. PD = PIN - POUT 3.63W - 3.3W 0.33W With the power dissipation known, the temperature rise in the device may be estimated based on the theta JA value (JA). The JA parameter estimates how much the temperature will rise in the device for every watt of power dissipation. The EN6310QA has a JA value of 60 C/W without airflow. Determine the change in temperature (T) based on PD and JA. T = PD x JA T 0.33W x 60C/W 19.8C 20C The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is approximately the ambient temperature (TA) plus the change in temperature. We assume the initial ambient temperature to be 25C. TJ = TA + T TJ 25C + 20C 45C The maximum operating junction temperature (TJMAX) of the device is 125C, so the device can operate at a higher ambient temperature. The maximum ambient temperature (TAMAX) allowed can be calculated. TAMAX = TJMAX - PD x JA 125C - 20C 105C The maximum ambient temperature the device can reach is 105C given the input and output conditions. Note that the efficiency will be slightly lower at higher temperatures and this calculation is an estimate.

They should be connected to the device with very short and wide traces. Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes when connecting the capacitor pads to the respective nodes. The Voltage and GND traces between the capacitors and the EN6310QA should be as close to each other as possible so that the gap between the two nodes is minimized, even under the capacitors. Recommendation 2: The system ground plane should be the first layer immediately below the surface layer. This ground plane should be continuous and un-interrupted below the converter and the input/output capacitors. Please see the Gerber files on EN6310QA's product page at www.intel.com/enpirion. Recommendation 3: The large thermal pad underneath the component must be connected to the system ground plane through as many vias as possible. The drill diameter of the vias should be 0.33mm, and the vias must have at least 1 oz. copper plating on the inside wall, making the finished hole size around 0.20-0.26mm. Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes to connect the vias to the ground plane. This connection provides the path for heat dissipation from the converter. See Figure 8. Recommendation 4: Multiple small vias (the same size as the thermal vias discussed in recommendation 3 should be used to connect ground terminal of the input capacitor and output capacitors to the system ground plane. It is preferred to put these vias under the capacitors along the edge of the GND copper closest to the +V copper. Please see Figure 8. These vias connect the input/output filter capacitors to the GND plane, and Page 23 14060 January 18, 2019 Rev F Datasheet | Intel(R) Enpirion(R) Power Solutions: EN6310QA help reduce parasitic inductances in the input and output current loops. If the vias cannot be placed under CIN and COUT, then put them just outside the capacitors along the GND slit separating the two components. Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes to connect these vias to the ground plane. AVIN is the power supply for the internal small-signal control circuits. It should be connected to the input voltage at a quiet point. A good location is to place the AVIN connection on the source side of the input capacitor, away from the PVIN pins. Recommendation 6: The layer 1 metal under the device must not be more than shown in Figure 8. See the section regarding exposed metal on bottom of package. As with any switch-mode DC-DC converter, try not to run sensitive signal or control lines underneath the converter package on other layers. Recommendation 7: The VOUT sense point should be just after the last output filter capacitor. Keep the sense trace as short as possible in order to avoid noise coupling into the control loop. Recommendation 8: Keep RA, CA, and RB close to the VFB pin (see Figures 6 and 7). The VFB pin is a highimpedance, sensitive node. Keep the trace to this pin as short as possible. Whenever possible, connect RB directly to the AGND pin instead of going through the GND plane. Page 24 14060 January 18, 2019 Rev F Datasheet | Intel(R) Enpirion(R) Power Solutions: EN6310QA DESIGN CONSIDERATION FOR LEAD-FRAME BASED MODULES Exposed Metal on Bottom of Package Lead-frames offer many advantages in thermal performance, in reduced electrical lead resistance, and in overall foot print. However, they do require some special considerations. In the assembly process lead frame construction requires that, for mechanical support, some of the leadframe cantilevers be exposed at the point where wire-bond or internal passives are attached. This results in several small pads being exposed on the bottom of the package, as shown in Figure 9. Only the thermal pad and the perimeter pads are to be mechanically or electrically connected to the PC board. The PCB top layer under the EN6310QA should be clear of any metal (copper pours, traces, or vias) except for the thermal pad. The "shaded-out" area in Figure 9 represents the area that should be clear of any metal on the top layer of the PCB. Any layer 1 metal under the shaded-out area runs the risk of undesirable shorted connections even if it is covered by soldermask. The solder stencil aperture should be smaller than the PCB ground pad. This will prevent excess solder from causing bridging between adjacent pins or other exposed metal under the package. Figure 9: Lead-Frame Expose Metal (Bottom View) Shaded area highlights metal that not be mechanically or electrically connected to the PCB.
