Demonstration Board

Target Specifications

The ZL8800 is a digital power conversion and management ICthat combines an efficient step-down DC/DC converter withkey power and thermal management functions in a single
package. The ZL8800 incorporates compensation-freeChargeMode control to achieve single-cycle transient response.

• VIN = 12V• VOUT = 1.2V/60A max• fSW = 400kHzThe ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z demonstration board is a 6-layer
board demonstrating a 2 phase 60A synchronous buckconverter. Sequencing, margining, plus other features can beevaluated using this demonstration board.

• Efficiency: 91% at 40A• Output Ripple: ±1%• Dynamic response: ±1% (50% to 100% to 50% load step,
di/dt = 10A/µs)

A USB to PMBus™ adapter board is used to connect thedemonstration board to a PC. The PMBus command set isaccessed by using the Zilker Labs PowerNavigator™ evaluation
software from a PC running Microsoft Windows.

• Board temperature: +25°C

Functional Description
The ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z provides all circuitry required todemonstrate the features of the ZL8800. The
ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z has a functionally-optimized ZL8800
circuit layout that allows efficient operation up to the
maximum output current.

Key Features• 2 phase 60A synchronous buck converter withcompensation-free ChargeMode control• Designed to be easy to use and modify. Optimized for small
circuit footprint and dynamic response

A majority of the features of the ZL8800, such ascompensation-free ChargeMode control, soft-start delay andramp times, supply sequencing, voltage tracking, and voltage
margining are available on this demonstration board. For
voltage tracking and sequencing demonstration, the board canbe connected to any other Zilker Labs demonstration boardthat supports the Digital-DC™ (DDC) bus.
Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic diagram of theZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z board.

• Configurable through PMBus• VIN range of 4.5V to 14V, VOUT adjustable from 0.54 to 5.5V
• Enable switches and power-good indicators

ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z
The hardware enable function is controlled by a toggle switch on
the ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z board. The power-good (PG) LEDs
indicate the correct state of PG for each phase when external
power is applied to the ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z board and thecorresponding phase is functioning properly. The right angle
headers at opposite ends of the board are for connecting a USB
to PMBus adapter board or for daisy chaining multiple
demonstration boards together to build multi-output
configurations.
Figures 2 and 3 show the detailed demonstration circuit. Figure 2
shows the ZL8800 IC with its minimal component count torealize a 60A output. Figure 3 has interface circuitry unique tothe demonstration board that is not typically contained in auser’s application circuit. Figures 4 through 10 show typicalperformance data, and Figures 15 through 22 demonstrate the
PCB board layout. The default configuration file is shown on
page 6, and the Bill of Materials (BOM) is included for reference
beginning on page 5.

Operation

Quick Start Guide
Stand Alone Operation
1. Set ENABLE switch to “DISABLE”
2. Apply load to VOUT0 and/or VOUT1
3. Connect the USB to PMBus adapter board to J8 (labeled“DONGLE”) of ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z
4. Connect supplied USB cable from computer to USB to PMBus
adapter board
5. Connect power supply to VIN (supply turned off)
6. Turn power supply on
7. Set ENABLE switch to “ENABLE”
8. Monitor ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z board operation using anoscilloscope

USB (PMBus) Operation
1. Set ENABLE switch to “DISABLE”
2. Apply load to VOUT and/or VOUT1

PMBus Operation

3. Connect power supply to VIN (supply turned off)

The ZL8800 utilizes the PMBus protocol. The PMBus functionality
can be controlled via USB from a PC running the PowerNavigator
evaluation software in a Windows XP or Windows 7 operating
systems.

4. Turn power supply on

Install the evaluation software from the following Intersil
website:http://www.intersil.com/en/products/powermanagement/zilker-labs-digital-power/powernavigator.html
For board operation, connect the included USB-to-PMBus adapter
board to J8 of the ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z board labeled“DONGLE”. Connect the desired load and an appropriate power
supply to the input and connect the included USB cable to the PC
running the PowerNavigator evaluation software. Place the
ENABLE switches in “DISABLE” and turn on the power.

5. Connect USB to PMBus adapter board to J8 of
ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z6. Connect supplied USB cable from computer to USB to PMBus
adapter board.
Install the PowerNavigator evaluation software from thefollowing Intersil website:
http://www.intersil.com/en/products/powermanagement/zilker-labs-digital-power/powernavigator.html.
7. Set ENABLE switch to “ENABLE”.
8. Monitor and configure the ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z board using
PMBus commands in the evaluation software.
9. Test the ZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z operation using anoscilloscope and the evaluation software.

The evaluation software allows modification of all ZL8800
PMBus parameters. The ZL8800 device on the board has been
pre-configured as described in this document, but the user may
modify the operating parameters through the evaluation
software or by loading a predefined set-up from a configuration
file.
The ENABLE switch can then be moved to “ENABLE” and theZL8800-2PH-DEMO1Z board can be tested. Alternately, thePMBus ON_OFF_CONFIG and OPERATION commands may be
used from the PowerNavigator GUI.

product’s quality grade, as indicated below.
"Standard":

Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement equipment; audio and visual equipment; home electronic appliances; machine tools; personal electronicequipment; industrial robots; etc.

"High Quality": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.); traffic control (traffic lights); large-scale communication equipment; key financial terminal systems; safety control equipment; etc.
Unless expressly designated as a high reliability product or a product for harsh environments in a Renesas Electronics data sheet or other Renesas Electronics document, Renesas Electronics products are
not intended or authorized for use in products or systems that may pose a direct threat to human life or bodily injury (artificial life support devices or systems; surgical implantations; etc.), or may cause
serious property damage (space system; undersea repeaters; nuclear power control systems; aircraft control systems; key plant systems; military equipment; etc.). Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all
