LSN D3 SIP's are designed to take on-board 3.3V power and convert it, with the highest efficiency in the smallest space, to any lower voltage required by today's current-hungry DSP's, ASIC's and CPLD's. The miniature size of LSN D3's makes them ideal for true point-of-use power processing. Vertical-mount packages occupy a mere 0.7 square inches (440 sq. mm), and they are available in industry-standard and Tyco-compatible pinout. Horizontal-mount packages ("H" suffix) are only 0.34 inches (8.6mm) high. The LSN's best-in-class power density is achieved with a fully synchronous, fixed-frequency (300kHz), buck topology that also delivers: high efficiency (94% for 2.5VOUT models), low noise (10mVp-p typ.), tight line/load regulation (0.1%/0.25% max.), quick step response (100sec), stable no-load operation, and no output reverse conduction. The fully functional LSN's feature output overcurrent detection, continuous shortcircuit protection, an output-voltage trim function, a remote on/off control pin (pull high to disable), thermal shutdown, and a sense pin. High efficiency enables the LSN D3's to deliver rated output currents of 10 Amps at ambient temperatures to +71C with no air flow (natural convection). If your low-voltage, high-current requirements have made the use of inefficient linear regulators impractical, take a look at one of DATEL's easy-to-use, low-cost LSN SIP's. All devices are UL/IEC/EN60950 certified and EMC compliant.

These capacitors are necessary to accommodate our test equipment and may not be required to achieved desired performance in your application. The LSN D3's are designed with high-quality, highperformance internal I/O caps, and will operate within spec in most applications with no additional external components. 300kHz (+40kHz, -50kHz) In particular, the LSN D3's input capacitors are specified for low ESR and are fully rated to handle the units' input ripple currents. Similarly, the internal output capacitors are specified for low ESR and full-range frequency response. As shown in the Performance Curves, removal of the external output caps has minimal effect on output noise. 2.1 million hours Operating Temperature: (Ambient) -40 to +85C with Derating See Derating Curves Thermal Shutdown Current limited. Devices can withstand sustained output short circuits without damage. The LSN D3 SIP's are non-isolated DC/DC converters. Their two Common pins (pins 5 and 6) are connected to each other internally (see Figure 1). To the extent possible (with the intent of minimizing ground loops), input return current should be directed through pin 6 (also referred to as -Input or Input Return), and output return current should be directed through pin 5 (also referred to as -Output or Output Return). Any on/off control signals applied to pin 11 (On/Off Control) should be referenced to Common (specifically pin 6).

All models are stable and regulate within spec under no-load conditions. See Technical Notes and Performance Curves for details. The On/Off Control (pin 11) is designed to be driven with open-collector logic or the application of appropriate voltages (referenced to Common, pins 5 and 6). Output noise may be further reduced with the installation of additional external output filtering. See I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction. Calculated using the Telcordia (Bellcore) SR-332 Method 1, Case 3, ground fixed conditions, TA = +25C, full load, natural convection, +55C component temperature. In critical applications, input/output ripple/noise may be further reduced using filtering techniques, the simplest being the installation of external I/O caps. External input capacitors serve primarily as energy-storage devices. They minimize high-frequency variations in input voltage (usually caused by IR drops in conductors leading to the DC/DC) as the switching converter draws pulses of current. Input capacitors should be selected for bulk capacitance (at appropriate frequencies), low ESR, and high rms-ripple-current ratings. The switching nature of modern DC/DC's requires that the dc input voltage source have low ac impedance at the frequencies of interest. Highly inductive source impedances can greatly affect system stability. Your specific system configuration may necessitate additional considerations. Output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations or PARD) may be reduced below specified limits with the installation of additional external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true filter www.murata-ps.com email: sales@murata-ps.com 16 Dec 2009 MDC_LSN10A-D3.B03 Page 3 of 14 LSN-10A D3 Models Single Output, Non-Isolated, 3.3VIN, 1-2.5VOUT, 10A, DC/DC's in SIP Packages elements and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and appropriate frequency response. Any scope measurements of PARD should be made directly at the DC/DC output pins with scope probe ground less than 0.5" in length. All external capacitors should have appropriate voltage ratings and be located as close to the converters as possible. Temperature variations for all relevant parameters should be taken into consideration. The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function of your line voltage and source impedance, as well as your particular load and layout conditions. Input Fusing Most applications and or safety agencies require the installation of fuses at the inputs of power conversion components. LSN D3 Series DC/DC converters are not internally fused. Therefore, if input fusing is mandatory, either a normal-blow or a fast-blow fuse with a value no greater than 17 Amps should be installed within the ungrounded input path to the converter. As a rule of thumb however, we recommend to use a fast-blow fuse with a typical value of about twice the maximum input current, calculated at low line with the converters minimum efficiency. IR drops in conductors and/or cabling. Since these are non-isolated devices whose inputs and outputs usually share the same ground plane, sense is provided only for the +Output. The remote sense line is part of the feedback control loop regulating the DC/ DC converter's output. The sense line carries very little current and consequently requires a minimal cross-sectional-area conductor. As such, it is not a low-impedance point and must be treated with care in layout and cabling. Sense lines should be run adjacent to signals (preferably ground), and in cable and/or discrete-wiring applications, twisted-pair or similar techniques should be used. To prevent high frequency voltage differences between VOUT and Sense, we recommend installation of a 1000pF capacitor close to the converter. The sense function is capable of compensating for voltage drops between the +Output and +Sense pins that do not exceed 10% of VOUT. [VOUT(+) - Common] - [Sense(+) - Common] d 10%VOUT Power derating (output current limiting) is based upon maximum output current and voltage at the converter's output pins. Use of trim and sense functions can cause the output voltage to increase, thereby increasing output power beyond the LSN's specified rating. Therefore: (VOUT at pins) x (IOUT) d rated output power Safety Considerations LSN D3 SIP's are non-isolated DC/DC converters. In general, all DC/DC's must be installed, including considerations for I/O voltages and spacing/separation requirements, in compliance with relevant safety-agency specifications (usually UL/IEC/EN60950). In particular, for a non-isolated converter's output voltage to meet SELV (safety extra low voltage) requirements, its input must be SELV compliant. If the output needs to be ELV (extra low voltage), the input must be ELV. Input Overvoltage and Reverse-Polarity Protection LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC's do not incorporate either input overvoltage or input reverse-polarity protection. Input voltages in excess of the specified absolute maximum ratings and input polarity reversals of longer than "instantaneous" duration can cause permanent damage to these devices. Start-Up Time The VIN to VOUT Start-Up Time is the interval between the time at which a ramping input voltage crosses the lower limit of the specified input voltage range (3 Volts) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specified accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final value of the input voltage as it appears to the converter. The On/Off to VOUT Start-Up Time assumes the converter is turned off via the On/Off Control with the nominal input voltage already applied to the converter. The specification defines the interval between the time at which the converter is turned on and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specified accuracy band. See Typical Performance Curves. Remote Sense LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC converters offer an output sense function on pin 3. The sense function enables point-of-use regulation for overcoming moderate The internal 10.5:resistor between +Sense and +Output (see Figure 1) serves to protect the sense function by limiting the output current flowing through the sense line if the main output is disconnected. It also prevents output voltage runaway if the sense connection is disconnected. Note: Connect the +Sense pin (pin 3) to +Output (pin 4) at the DC/DC converter pins, if the sense function is not used for remote regulation. On/Off Control and Power-up Sequencing The On/Off Control pin may be used for remote on/off operation. LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC's are designed so they are enabled when the control pin is left open (internal pull-down to Common) and disabled when the control pin is pulled high (+2.8V to +VIN), as shown in Figure 2 and 2a. Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechanical relay or open-collector/open-drain drive circuit. The drive circuit should be able to sink appropriate current when activated and withstand appropriate voltage when deactivated. +INPUT 5k 1.1k ON/OFF CONTROL 0.75k COMMON Figure 2. Driving the On/Off Control Pin with an Open-Collector Drive Circuit The on/off control function, however, can be externally inverted so that the converter will be disabled while the input voltage is ramping up and then "released" once the input has stabilized. www.murata-ps.com email: sales@murata-ps.com 16 Dec 2009 MDC_LSN10A-D3.B03 Page 4 of 14 LSN-10A D3 Models Single Output, Non-Isolated, 3.3VIN, 1-2.5VOUT, 10A, DC/DC's in SIP Packages +INPUT /54054 5k 0.9k 4RIM $OWN ).054 1.1k 42)- ON/OFF CONTROL ,/!$ 4RIM 5P #/--/. 0.75k #/--/.

Inverting On/Off Control Pin Signal and Power-Up Sequencing +OUTPUT For a controlled start-up of one or more LSN-D3's, or if several output voltages need to be powered-up in a given sequence, the On/Off Control pin can be pulled high (external pull-up resistor, converter disabled) and then driven low with an external open collector device to enable the converter. Trim Down +INPUT LOAD TRIM COMMON Trim Up Output Overvoltage Protection COMMON LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC converters do not incorporate output overvoltage protection. In the extremely rare situation in which the device's feedback loop is broken, the output voltage may run to excessively high levels (VOUT = VIN). If it is absolutely imperative that you protect your load against any and all possible overvoltage situations, voltage limiting circuitry must be provided external to the power converter. Note: Install either a fixed trim-up resistor or a fixed trim-down resistor depending upon desired output voltage. Figure 4. Trim Connections Using Fixed Resistors LSN-1/10-D3 Trim Equations Output Overcurrent Detection Overloading the output of a power converter for an extended period of time will invariably cause internal component temperatures to exceed their maximum ratings and eventually lead to component failure. High-current-carrying components such as inductors, FET's and diodes are at the highest risk. LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC converters incorporate an output overcurrent detection and shutdown function that serves to protect both the power converter and its load. 24 $/7. K7 24 50 K7 24 $/7.

Fixed resistors should have absolute TCR's less than 100ppm/C to ensure stability. 6/ ./- n 6/ LSN-1.2/10-D3, LSN-1.25/10-D3 Trim Equations If the output current exceeds it maximum rating by typically 60% (16 Amps) or if the output voltage drops to less than 98% of it original value, the LSN D3's internal overcurrent-detection circuitry immediately turns off the converter, which then goes into a "hiccup" mode. While hiccupping, the converter will continuously attempt to restart itself, go into overcurrent, and then shut down. Under these conditions, the average output current will be approximately 400mA, and the average input current will be approximately 70mA. Once the output short is removed, the converter will automatically restart itself. Allowable trim ranges for each model in the LSN D3 SIP Series are 10%. Trimming is accomplished with either a trimpot or a single fixed resistor. The trimpot should be connected between +Output and Common with its wiper connected to the Trim pin as shown in Figure 3 below. 6/ n 24 50 K7 6/ n 6/ ./- n 6/ 6/ n 6/ ./- n n Note: Resistor values are in k:.

Output Reverse Conduction Many DC/DC converters using synchronous rectification suffer from Output Reverse Conduction. If those devices have a voltage applied across their output before a voltage is applied to their input (this typically occurs when another power supply starts before them in a power-sequenced application), www.murata-ps.com email: sales@murata-ps.com 16 Dec 2009 MDC_LSN10A-D3.B03 Page 5 of 14 LSN-10A D3 Models Single Output, Non-Isolated, 3.3VIN, 1-2.5VOUT, 10A, DC/DC's in SIP Packages they will either fail to start or self destruct. In both cases, the cause is the "freewheeling" or "catch" FET biasing itself on and effectively becoming a short circuit. LSN D3 SIP DC/DC converters are not damaged from Output Reverse Conduction. They employ proprietary gate drive circuitry which makes them immune to applied voltages during the startup sequence. If you are using an external power source paralleled with the LSN, be aware that during the start up phase, some low impedance condition or transient current may be absorbed briefly into the LSN output terminals before voltage regulation is fully established. You should insure that paralleled external power sources are not disrupted by this condition during LSN start up. Thermal Considerations and Thermal Protection The typical output-current thermal-derating curves shown above enable designers to determine how much current they can reliably derive from each model of the LSN D3 SIP's under known ambient-temperature and air-flow conditions. Similarly, the curves indicate how much air flow is required to reliably deliver a required output current at known temperatures. The highest temperatures in LSN D3 SIP's occur at their output inductor, whose heat is generated primarily by I 2 R losses. The curves below were developed using thermocouples to monitor the inductor temperature and varying the load to keep that temperature below +110C under the assorted conditions of air flow and air temperature. Once the temperature exceeds +115C (approx.), the thermal protection will disable the converter. Automatic restart occurs after the temperature has dropped below +110C. In all cases below, the DUT's were vertical-mount models, and the direction of air flow was parallel to the unit in the direction from pin 1 to pin 11. As you may deduce from the above curves and can observe in the efficiency curves on the next page, LSN D3 SIP's are more efficient at lower current levels. Also, I 2 R losses in the output inductor are significantly less at lower currents. Consequently, LSN D3 SIP's deliver very impressive temperature performance if operating at less than full load. Lastly, when LSN D3 SIP's are installed in system boards, they are obviously subject to numerous factors and tolerances not taken into account above. If you are attempting to extract the most current out of these units under demanding temperature conditions, we advise you to monitor the outputinductor temperature to ensure it remains below +110C at all times. Thermal Performance for "H" Models Enhanced thermal performance can be achieved when LSN D3 SIP's are mounted horizontally ("H" models) and the output inductor (with its electrically isolating, thermally conductive pad installed) is thermally coupled to a copper plane/pad (at least 0.55 square inches in area) on the system board. Your conditions may vary, however our tests indicate this configuration delivers a 16C to 22C improvement in ambient operating temperatures. www.murata-ps.com email: sales@murata-ps.com 16 Dec 2009 MDC_LSN10A-D3.B03 Page 6 of 14 LSN-10A D3 Models Single Output, Non-Isolated, 3.3VIN, 1-2.5VOUT, 10A, DC/DC's in SIP Packages Start Up Considerations Solutions When power is first applied to the DC/DC converter, operation is different than when the converter is running and stabilized. There is some risk of start up difficulties if you do not observe several application features. Lower input voltage converters may have more problems here since they tend to have higher input currents. Operation is most critical with any combination of the following external factors: To improve start up, review the conditions above. One of the better solutions is to place a moderate size capacitor very close to the input terminals. You may need two parallel capacitors. A larger electrolytic or tantalum cap supplies the surge current and a smaller parallel low-ESR ceramic cap gives low AC impedance. Too large an electrolytic capacitor may have higher internal impedance (ESR) and/or lower the start up slew rate enough to upset the DC/DC's controller. Make sure the capacitors can tolerate reflected switching current pulses from the converter. 1 - Low initial input line voltage and/or poor regulation of the input source. 2 - Full output load current on lower output voltage converters. 3 - Slow slew rate of input voltage. 4 - Longer distance to input voltage source and/or higher external input source impedance. 5 - Limited or insufficient ground plane. External wiring that is too small. 6 - Too small external input capacitance. Too high ESR. 7 - High output capacitance causing a start up charge overcurrent surge. 8 - Output loads with excessive inductive reactance or constant current characteristics. If the input voltage is already at the low limit before power is applied, the start up surge current may instantaneously reduce the voltage at the input terminals to below the specified minimum voltage. Even if this voltage depression is very brief, this may interfere with the on-board controller and possibly cause a failed start. Or the converter may start but the input current load will now drive the input voltage below its running low limit and the converter will shut down. If you measure the input voltage before start up with a Digital Voltmeter (DVM), the voltage may appear to be adequate. Limited external capacitance and/or too high a source impedance may cause a short downward spike at power up, causing an instantaneous voltage drop. Use an oscilloscope not a DVM to observe this spike. The converter's soft-start controller is sensitive to input voltage. What matters here is the actual voltage at the input terminals at all times. Symptoms of start-up difficulties may include failed started, output oscillation or brief start up then overcurrent shutdown. Since the input voltage is never absolutely constant, the converter may start up at some times and not at others. The capacitors will not help if the input source has poor regulation. A converter which starts successfully at 3.3 Volts will turn off if the input voltage decays to below the input voltage theshold, regardless of external capacitance. Increase the input start up voltage if possible to raise the downward voltage spike. Also, make sure that the input voltage ramps up in a reasonably short time (less than a few milliseconds). If possible, move the input source closer to the converter to reduce ohmic losses in the input wiring. Remember that the input current is carried both by the wiring and the ground plane return. Make sure the ground plane uses adequate thickness copper. Run additional bus wire if necessary. Any added output capacitor should use just enough capacitance (and no more) to reduce output noise at the load and to avoid marginal threshold noise problems with external logic. An output cap will also "decouple" inductive reactance in the load. Certain kinds of electronic loads include "constant current" characteristics which destabilize the output with insufficient capacitance. If the wiring to the eventual load is long, consider placing this decoupling cap at the load. Use the Remote Sense input to avoid ohmic voltage drop errors. An elegant solution to start up problems is to apply the input voltage with the Remote On/Off control first in the off setting (for those converters with an On/Off Control). After the specified start-up delay (usually under 20 mSec), turn on the converter. The controller will have already been stabilized. The short delay will not be noticed in most applications. Be aware of applications which need "power management" (phased start up). Finally, it is challenging to model some application circuits with absolute fidelity. How low is the resistance of your ground plane? What is the inductance (and distributed capacitance) of external wiring? Even a detailed mathematical model may not get all aspects of your circuit. Therefore it is difficult to give cap values which serve all applications. Some experimentation may be required. www.murata-ps.com email: sales@murata-ps.com 16 Dec 2009 MDC_LSN10A-D3.B03 Page 7 of 14 LSN-10A D3 Models Single Output, Non-Isolated, 3.3VIN, 1-2.5VOUT, 10A,

Input Voltage Range: D3 = 3 to 3.6 Volts (3.3V nominal) Functional Options Reversed pin vertical mounting ("J" suffix) Remote Sense Pin Removed ("B" suffix) This additional mechanical configuration consists of a low-profile pin header attached to the reverse side of the converter. It allows the LSN series to be mechanically compatible with Tyco's "keep out area." These devices have their +Sense pin (pin 3) removed, and the feedback loop is closed through the +VOUT path. The 10.5: resistor in Figure 1 is installed in both standard and "B" models. See the Output Sense Function. Horizontal Mounting ("H" suffix) This packaging configuration reduces above-board height to 0.35" (8.89mm) including the "pad." For "H" models, a thermally conductive, electrically insulating "pad" is factory installed on the output inductor. The pad material is Bergquist Sil Pad 400. The pad size is 0.4 x 0.5 x 0.009 inches (10.16 x 12.7 x 0.23mm). This configuration can significantly improve thermal performance. See Thermal Derating for details. Sense Pins Note: If the sense pin is installed, it must be connected to either a remote load or to +output at the converter pins. Do not leave sense unconnected.
