For the LMZ20502SILR power supply module , it has 16 pins, and each pin serves a specific purpose. Here's the breakdown of the pin functions:
Pin No. Pin Name Pin Function Description 1 VOUT Output Voltage Pin: This is where the regulated output voltage is provided. It’s the main power output of the module. 2 PGND Power Ground: Connects the power return path from the output. 3 FB Feedback Pin: This pin is used for feedback control to maintain the desired output voltage by regulating the error between the output and reference voltage. 4 EN Enable Pin: Used to turn the device on or off. A high voltage on this pin enables the module, and a low voltage disables it. 5 COMP Compensation Pin: This is used for controlling the frequency compensation of the internal control loop. 6 SENSE+ Positive Current Sense Pin: Provides a sense of the output current, which is used for current-mode control. 7 SENSE- Negative Current Sense Pin: Provides a sense of the negative output current. 8 VDD Supply Voltage Pin: Connects the supply voltage (typically 12V) to power the IC. 9 VIN Input Voltage Pin: This is where the input voltage to the power module is supplied, typically ranging from 6V to 36V. 10 AGND Analog Ground: Connects to the ground of the analog circuitry within the IC. 11 PGOOD Power Good Indicator Pin: Outputs a signal indicating if the output voltage is within acceptable limits (high when within limits, low otherwise). 12 VCC Voltage Regulator Pin: Supplies the internal voltage regulator for the module’s operation. 13 LDO Low Dropout Regulator Pin: Supplies power to the internal logic and control circuitry of the module. 14 SWITCH Switching Pin: This is the high-frequency switching output, which drives the external inductor in the power conversion process. 15 SS Soft-Start Pin: Controls the rate at which the output voltage ramps up during startup to prevent inrush current. 16 SYNC Synchronization Pin: Used to synchronize the switching frequency of the module with an external clock source, typically for applications with multiple converters.Detailed Pin Functionality (Circuit Principles)
Each of these pins works within the context of power regulation, specifically for a step-down (buck) converter. Here’s how these pins work together in the overall functionality:
Input Voltage (VIN): The module takes in a wide range of input voltages (typically between 6V and 36V). This voltage is processed and converted into a stable, regulated output voltage. Feedback (FB): Ensures the output voltage remains stable by providing a feedback loop to compare the output voltage against the desired reference voltage. SENSE Pins (SENSE+ / SENSE-): Used for current sensing, these pins allow the module to regulate the current delivered to the load, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum ratings. Switching (SWITCH): This is the core of the buck converter. The switch rapidly turns on and off to step down the input voltage to the desired output level, driven by PWM control. Power Ground (PGND) / Analog Ground (AGND): These are separate ground connections, one for the power stage (PGND) and one for the control logic (AGND), to avoid noise coupling between the two. Enable (EN) / Power Good (PGOOD): The EN pin allows turning the module on or off, while PGOOD indicates whether the output voltage is within the desired range.20 Common FAQ for LMZ20502SILR
