Product details
Overview
ZSPM9010ZA1R from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a fully integrated DrMOS power stage combining driver IC, high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs, and bootstrap Schottky diode in a 6 mm × 6 mm PQFN40 package. It delivers up to 50 A peak output current, supports switching frequencies up to 1 MHz, and operates with 3–15 V input voltage for synchronous buck DC-DC conversion in high-density server and telecom POL supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ZSPM9010ZA1R datasheet, ZSPM9010ZA1R pinout, ZSPM9010ZA1R application, or ZSPM9010ZA1R equivalent, key selection criteria include tri-state 3.3 V PWM compatibility, thermal warning flag (THWN#), adaptive dead-time control, Skip Mode (SMOD#) support, and Intel® 4.0 DrMOS compliance - all validated for high-current, high-frequency point-of-load regulation.
Technical Context
The ZSPM9010ZA1R implements an adaptive gate drive architecture that monitors GL voltage and VSWH node to dynamically adjust dead times-tD_DEADON = 10 ns and tD_DEADOFF = 12 ns-preventing shoot-through while enabling fast transitions. Its integrated bootstrap Schottky diode (VF = 0.35 V at 10 mA) and copper-clip PQFN40 package reduce parasitic inductance and thermal resistance (θJPCB = 3.5 °C/W).
It features dual supply domains: VCIN/VDRV = 4.5–5.5 V for logic and gate drive, and VIN = 3–15 V for power stage operation. The tri-state PWM interface supports phase shedding via a defined hold-off time (tD_HOLD-OFF = 160–200 ns), and SMOD# enables low-side gate turn-off during light-load discontinuous conduction mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 50 A at fSW = 300 kHz, VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 1.0 V - defines maximum transient load capability without thermal shutdown |
| Switching Frequency Support | Up to 1 MHz - enables compact magnetics and high transient response in space-constrained POL designs |
| UVLO Threshold | 3.1 V (rising) with 0.4 V hysteresis - ensures robust startup and brown-out protection for VCIN supply |
| Thermal Warning Activation | 150 °C junction temperature (THWN# active), reset at 135 °C - provides early over-temperature alert without disabling operation |
| Tri-State Hold-Off Time | 160–200 ns - guarantees reliable entry into tri-state shutdown mode for multi-phase phase shedding |
| High-Side Rise/Fall Time | tR_GH = 6 ns, tF_GH = 5 ns - minimizes switching losses and reduces EMI generation in high-dV/dt applications |
| Low-Side Sink Impedance | RSINK_GL = 0.5 Ω at 100 mA - ensures strong gate discharge for fast low-side turn-off and reduced conduction loss |
Pinout & Package
Package: Thermally enhanced PQFN40 (6 mm × 6 mm, 0.85 mm height), RoHS-compliant, green packaging.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input supply rail | Connects to main DC bus (3–15 V); feeds high-side MOSFET drain and bootstrap circuit reference |
| PHASE | Switch node | Drives buck inductor; voltage swings between PGND and VIN; critical for layout low-inductance routing |
| BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Provides floating bias for high-side driver; internal Schottky diode charges external CBOOT during low-side conduction |
| GH | High-side gate driver output | Directly drives high-side MOSFET gate; in-phase with PWM; adaptive timing prevents shoot-through |
| GL | Low-side gate driver output | Directly drives low-side MOSFET gate; 180° out-of-phase with PWM; includes adaptive dead-time control |
| PWM | Tri-state logic input | Accepts 3.3 V logic; windowed thresholds (VTRI_LO = 0.70–1.19 V, VTRI_HI = 1.84–2.56 V) enable phase shedding |
| SMOD# | Skip Mode control input | Active-low signal disables low-side gate drive during light load to prevent reverse inductor current and improve efficiency |
| DISB# | Driver disable input | Active-low; forces GH/GL LOW regardless of PWM state; internal 10 µA pull-down ensures safe default |
| THWN# | Open-drain thermal warning flag | Asserts LOW at 150 °C junction; requires external pull-up to VCIN; does not disable device |
| VCIN / VDRV | Logic & gate drive supply inputs | Separate 4.5–5.5 V supplies for logic core and gate drivers; UVLO protects both domains independently |
| PGND / CGND | Power & control ground returns | Separated grounds minimize noise coupling; PGND carries high di/dt currents; CGND routes logic references |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Intel® 4.0 DrMOS compliance | Guarantees interoperability with industry-standard digital PWM controllers including IDT ZSPM1000 |

| Skip Mode (SMOD#) | Enables DCM operation by disabling low-side gate drive under light load - boosts efficiency without controller changes |
| Thermal warning flag (THWN#) | Provides system-level thermal monitoring at 150 °C with hysteresis - supports predictive thermal management |
| Copper-clip PQFN40 package | Reduces RDS(ON) and thermal resistance (θJPCB = 3.5 °C/W), enabling 50 A operation with natural convection |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the ZSPM9010ZA1R?
The ZSPM9010ZA1R is rated for 40 A average output current and 50 A peak output current under specified conditions: fSW = 300 kHz, VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 1.0 V, TAMB = 25°C, and natural convection cooling on a standard evaluation board. Actual current capability depends on PCB thermal design, ambient temperature, and switching frequency - derating applies above 300 kHz or elevated ambient temperatures.
Does the ZSPM9010ZA1R require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the ZSPM9010ZA1R integrates a bootstrap Schottky diode with VF = 0.35 V at 10 mA and VR = 22 V. This eliminates the need for an external diode, reduces component count, improves bootstrap capacitor recharge reliability, and contributes to the device's 72% board area savings versus discrete solutions.
How does the thermal warning flag (THWN#) function in the ZSPM9010ZA1R?
The THWN# pin is an open-drain output that pulls LOW when the driver IC junction temperature reaches 150 °C and returns to high-impedance at 135 °C. It requires an external pull-up resistor to VCIN. Critically, THWN# assertion does not disable the ZSPM9010ZA1R - it serves solely as a system-level thermal alert for host controller monitoring and throttling decisions.
Can the ZSPM9010ZA1R be used with non-IDT PWM controllers?
Yes, the ZSPM9010ZA1R is Intel® 4.0 DrMOS-compliant and compatible with any 3.3 V tri-state PWM controller meeting its input thresholds: VIH_PWM = 1.88–2.61 V, VIL_PWM = 0.62–1.13 V, and tri-state window VTRI_LO/VTRI_HI = 0.70–1.19 V / 1.84–2.56 V. It has been validated with IDT ZSPM1000 but interoperates with TI, MPS, and Richtek digital controllers supporting the standard.
What is the purpose of the SMOD# pin on the ZSPM9010ZA1R?
The SMOD# (Skip Mode) pin is an active-low input that disables the low-side MOSFET gate drive during light-load conditions. When asserted, it prevents reverse inductor current flow and associated conduction losses, enabling discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and improving light-load efficiency - a key feature for energy-sensitive server and telecom POL applications.
