EN2340QI
4A Voltage Mode Synchronous Buck PWM
DC-DC Converter with Integrated Inductor
PowerSOC
Description
The EN2340QI is a Power System on a Chip
(PowerSoC) DC-DC converter. It integrates MOSFET
switches, small-signal control circuits, compensation
and an integrated inductor in an advanced 8x11x3mm
QFN module. It offers high efficiency, excellent line
and load regulation over temperature and up to the
full 4A load range. The EN2340QI operates over a
wide input voltage range and is specifically designed
to meet the precise voltage and fast transient
requirements of high-performance products. The
EN2340 features frequency synchronization to an
external clock, power OK output voltage monitor,
programmable soft-start along with thermal and over
current protection. The device’s advanced circuit
design, ultra high switching frequency and proprietary
integrated inductor technology delivers high-quality,
ultra compact, non-isolated DC-DC conversion.
The Enpirion solution significantly helps in system
design and productivity by offering greatly simplified
board
design,
layout
and
manufacturing
requirements. In addition, overall system level
reliability is improved given the small number of
components required with the Enpirion solution.
All Enpirion products are RoHS compliant and lead-
free manufacturing environment compatible.

NOTE A:
NC pins are not to be electrically connected to each other or to any external signal, ground, or voltage.
However, they must be soldered to the PCB. Failure to follow this guideline may result in part malfunction or damage.
NOTE B:
Shaded area highlights exposed metal below the package that is not to be mechanically or electrically
connected to the PCB. Refer to Figure 10 for details.

FUNCTION
NO CONNECT – These pins may be internally connected. Do not connect them to each
other or to any other electrical signal. Failure to follow this guideline may result in device
damage.
Regulated converter output. Connect these pins to the load and place output capacitor
between these pins and PGND pins 29-34.
NO CONNECT – These pins are internally connected to the common switching node of the
internal MOSFETs. They are not to be electrically connected to any external signal, ground,
or voltage. Failure to follow this guideline may result in damage to the device.

FUNCTION
Input/output power ground. Connect these pins to the ground electrode of the input and
output filter capacitors. See VOUT and PVIN pin descriptions for more details.
Input power supply. Connect to input power supply. Decouple with input capacitor to
PGND pins 29-34.
Internal 3V linear regulator output. Connect this pin to AVIN (Pin 51) for applications where
operation from a single input voltage (PVIN) is required. If AVINO is being used, place a
1µF, X5R/X7R, capacitor between AVINO and AGND as close as possible to AVINO.
Place a 0.1µF, X5R/X7R, capacitor between this pin and BTMP.
See pin 43 description.
Internal regulated voltage used for the internal control circuitry. Place a 1.0µF, X7R,
capacitor between this pin and BGND.
See pin 45 description.
Digital Input. This pin accepts either an input clock to phase lock the internal switching
frequency or a S_OUT signal from another EN2340QI. Leave this pin floating if not used.
Digital Output. PWM signal is output on this pin. Leave this pin floating if not used.
Power OK is an open drain transistor (pulled up to AVIN or similar voltage) used for power
system state indication. POK is logic high when VOUT is within -10% of VOUT nominal.
Input Enable. Applying a logic high to this pin enables the output and initiates a soft-start.
Applying a logic Low disables the output. Do not leave floating.
3.3V Input power supply for the controller. Place a 0.1µF, X7R, capacitor between AVIN
and AGND.
Analog Ground. This is the Ground return for the controller. Needs to be connected to a
quiet ground.
External Feedback Input. The feedback loop is closed through this pin. A voltage divider at
VOUT is used to set the output voltage. The mid-point of the divider is connected to VFB. A
phase lead capacitor from this pin to VOUT is also required to stabilize the loop.
Optional Error Amplifier output. Allows for customization of the control loop.
Soft-Start node. The soft-start capacitor is connected between this pin and AGND. The
value of this capacitor determines the startup time.
Programmable over-current protection. Placement of a resistor on this pin will adjust the
over-current protection threshold. See Table 2 for the recommended RCLX Value to set
OCP at the nominal value specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Adding a resistor (R
FS
) to this pin will adjust the switching frequency of the EN2340QI. See
Table 1 for suggested resistor values on R
FS
for various PVIN/VOUT combinations to
maximize efficiency. Do not leave floating.
Not a perimeter pin. Device thermal pad to be connected to the system GND plane for heat-
sinking purposes.
