VIN and PVIN Input Voltage
The LMZ31530 allows for a variety of applications by using the VIN and PVIN pins together or separately. The
VIN voltage supplies the internal control circuits of the device. The PVIN voltage provides the input voltage to the
power converter system.
If tied together, the input voltage for the VIN pin and the PVIN pin can range from 4.5 V to 14.5 V. If using the
VIN pin separately from the PVIN pin, the VIN pin must be greater than 4.5 V, and the PVIN pin can range from
as low as 3.0 V to 14.5 V. When operating from a split rail, it is recommended to supply VIN from 5 V to 12 V, for
best performance.
3.3 V PVIN Operation
Applications operating from a PVIN of 3.3 V must provide at least 4.5 V for VIN. It is recommended to supply VIN
from 5 V to 12 V, for best performance. See application note, SNVA692 for help creating 5 V from 3.3 V using a
small, simple charge pump device.
Power Good (PWRGD)
The PWRGD pin is an open drain output. Once the voltage on the SENSE+ pin is between 90% and 115% of the
set voltage, the PWRGD pin pull-down is released and the pin floats. The recommended pull-up resistor value is
between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ to a voltage source that is less than 7 V. An internal 100 kΩ pull-up resistor is
provided internal to the device between the PWRGD pin (pin 19) and PWRGD_PU pin (pin 18). The
PWRGD_PU pin can be connected to a voltage source less than 7 V or connected directly to V5V (pin 61), which
is an internal 5V regulator. The PWRGD pin is in a defined state once VIN is greater than 1.0 V. The PWRGD
pin is pulled low when the voltage on SENSE+ is lower than 90% or greater than 115% of the nominal set
voltage. Also, the PWRGD pin is pulled low if the input UVLO or thermal shutdown is asserted or the INH pin is
pulled low.
Slow Start (SS_SEL)
Connecting the SS_SEL pin to PWRGD or PGND sets the slow start interval of approximately 0.7 ms. The
connection to either PWRGD or PGND determines the mode of the LMZ31530 as decribed in Auto-Skip Eco-
Mode ™ / Forced Continuous Conduction Mode. Adding a resistor between SS_SEL pin and PWRGD or PGND
increases the slow start time. Increasing the slow start time will reduce inrush current.Table 5 shows a resistor
connected between SS_SEL pin and PWRGD to select FCCM and Figure 20 shows a resistor between SS_SEL
pin and PGND to select Auto-skip mode. See Table 5 below for SS resistor values and timing interval.
