DATASHEET ZL9117M FN7914 Rev.7.00 Digital DC/DC PMBus 17A Module Jun 26, 2017 The ZL9117M is a 17A, variable output, step-down Features PMBus-compliant digital power supply. Included in the module Complete digital switch mode power supply is a high-performance digital PWM controller, power MOSFETs, an inductor, and all the passive components required for a Fast transient response highly integrated DC/DC power solution. This power module Auto compensating PID filter has built-in auto-compensation algorithms, which eliminate External synchronization the need for manual compensation design work. The ZL9117M operates over a wide input voltage range and supports an Output voltage tracking output voltage range of 0.6V to 3.6V, which can be set by Current sharing external resistors or via PMBus. This high-efficiency power module is capable of delivering 17A. Only bulk input and Programmable soft-start delay and ramp output capacitors are needed to finish the design. The output Overcurrent/undercurrent protection voltage can be precisely regulated to as low as 0.6V with 1% PMBus compliant output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature variations. Applications The ZL9117M features auto-compensation, internal soft-start, Server, telecom, and datacom auto-recovery overcurrent protection, an enable option, and Industrial and medical equipment prebiased output start-up capabilities. General purpose point of load The ZL9117M is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact (15mmx15mm) and low profile (3.5mm) overmolded QFN Related Literature package module suitable for automated assembly by standard surface mount equipment. The ZL9117M is RoHS compliant. For a full list of related documents, visit our website - ZL9117M product page Figure 1 represents a typical implementation of the ZL9117M. For PMBus operation, it is recommended to tie the Enable pin (EN) to SGND.
