General Description
The LMZ23603 SIMPLE SWITCHER© power module is an
easy-to-use step-down DC-DC solution capable of driving up
to 3A load. The LMZ23603 is available in an innovative pack-
age that enhances thermal performance and allows for hand
or machine soldering.
The LMZ23603 can accept an input voltage rail between 6V
and 36V and deliver an adjustable and highly accurate output
voltage as low as 0.8V. The LMZ23603 only requires two ex-
ternal resistors and three external capacitors to complete the
power solution. The LMZ23603 is a reliable and robust design
with the following protection features: thermal shutdown, pro-
grammable input under-voltage lockout, output over-voltage
protection, short-circuit protection, output current limit, and
allows startup into a pre-biased output. The sync input allows
synchronization over the 650 to 950 kHz switching frequency
range.
Design Steps for the LMZ23603
Application
The LMZ23603 is fully supported by Webench® which offers:
component selection, electrical and thermal simulations. Ad-
ditionally there are both evaluation and demonstration boards
that may be used as a starting point for design. The following
list of steps can be used to manually design the LMZ23603
application.

precision under voltage lock out (UVLO), the Enable input
may be left open circuit and the internal resistor will always
enable the module. In such case, the internal UVLO occurs
around 4.3V.
In applications with separate supervisory circuits Enable can
be directly interfaced to a logic source. In the case of se-
quencing supplies, the divider is connected to a rail that
becomes active earlier in the power-up cycle than the
LMZ23603 output rail.
Enable provides a precise 1.279V threshold to allow direct
logic drive or connection to a voltage divider from a higher
enable voltage such as V
switched offset current allowing programmable hysteresis.
See Figure 1.
The function of the enable divider is to allow the designer to
choose an input voltage below which the circuit will be dis-
abled. This implements the feature of programmable UVLO.
The two resistors should be chosen based on the following
ratio:
R
The LMZ23603 typical application shows 12.7kΩ for R
42.2kΩ for R
this divider presents 8.33V to the input when the divider is
raised to 36V which would exceed the recommended 5.5V
limit for Enable. A midpoint 5.1V Zener clamp is applied to
allow the application to cover the full 6V to 36V range of op-
eration. The zener clamp is not required if the target applica-
tion prohibits the maximum Enable input voltage from being
exceeded.
Additional enable voltage hysteresis can be added with the
inclusion of R
