PART NUMBER: VPOL15A-5-SIP
1. Introduction
This application note describes the features and functions of V-Infinity’s
VPOL15A-5-SIP series of non-isolated dc-dc converters. These are
highly efficient, reliable and compact, high power density, single output
dc-dc converters. These “Point of Load” modules serve the needs
specifically of the fixed and mobile telecommunications and computing
market, employing economical distributed power architectures. The
VPOL15A-5-SIP series provide precisely regulated output voltage range
from 0.9V to 3.63Vdc over a wide range of input voltage (Vi=3.0 –
5.5Vdc) and can operate over an ambient temperature range of –40°C
to +85°C. Ultr a-high efficiency operation is achieved through the use of
synchronous rectification and drive control techniques.
The modules are fully protected against short circuit and over-
temperature conditions. V-Infinity’s world class automated
manufacturing methods, together with an extensive testing and
qualification program, ensure that all VPOL15A-5-SIP series converters
are extremely reliable.

3. General Description
3.1 Electrical Description
A block diagram of the VPOL15A-5-SIP Series converter is
Figure 1. Extremely high efficiency power conversion is achieved
through the use of synchronous rectification and drive techniques.
Essentially, the powerful VPOL15A-5-SIP series topology is based on a
non-isolated synchronous buck converter. The control loop is optimized
for unconditional stability, fast transient response and a very tight line
and load regulation. In a typical pre-bias application the VPOL15A-5-
SIP series converters do not draw any reverse current at start-up. The
output voltage can be adjusted from 0.9 to 3.63vdc, using the TRIM pin
with a external resistor. The converter can be shut down via a remote
on/off input that is referenced to ground. This input is compatible with
popular logic devices; a 'positive' logic input is supplied as standard.
Positive logic implies that the converter is enabled if the remote on/off
input is high (or floating), and disabled if it is low.

DESCRIPTION: point of load converter
The converter is also protected against over-temperature conditions. If
the converter is overloaded or the ambient temperature gets too high,
the converter will shut down to protect the unit.
3.2 Thermal Packaging and Physical Design.
The VPOL15A-5-SIP series uses a multi-layer FR4 PCB construction.
All surface mount power components are placed on one side of the
PCB, and all low-power control components are placed on the other
side. Thus, the Heat dissipation of the power components is optimized,
ensuring that control components are not thermally stressed. The
converter is an open-frame product and has no case or case pin. The
open-frame design has several advantages over encapsulated closed
devices. Among these advantages are:
