reference module. The remaining modules are members. The
reference module broadcasts its current over the DDC bus. The
members use the reference current information to trim their
voltages (V MEMBER ) to balance the current loading of each
module in the system.
to disable one or more phases to eliminate the current drain and
switching losses associated with those phases, resulting in
higher efficiency.
The ZL9117M offers the ability to add and drop phases using a
PMBus command in response to an observed load current
change. All phases in a current share rail are considered active
prior to the current sharing rail ramp to power-good.
V REFERENCE
-R
Any member of the current sharing rail can be dropped. If the
reference module is dropped, the remaining active module with
the lowest member position becomes the new reference.
V MEMBER
-R
Additionally, any change to the number of members of a current
sharing rail will precipitate autonomous phase distribution within
the rail where all active phases realign their phase position
based on their order within the number of active members.
If the members of a current sharing rail are forced to shut down
due to an observed fault, all members of the rail attempt to

Figure 18 shows that, for load lines with identical slopes, the
member voltage is increased towards the reference voltage
which closes the gap between the inductor currents.
The relation between reference and member current and voltage
is given by Equation 2:
re-start simultaneously after the fault has cleared.
Monitoring via I 2 C/SMBus
A system controller can monitor a wide variety of different
ZL9117M system parameters through the I 2 C/SMBus interface.
The module can monitor for any number of power conversion
parameters including but not limited to the following:
? Input voltage/Output voltage
V MEMBER = V OUT + R × ( I REFERENCE – I MEMBER )
(EQ. 2)
? Output current
? Internal temperature
where R is the value of the droop resistance.
The ISHARE_CONFIG command is used to configure the module
for active current sharing. The default setting is a stand-alone
non-current sharing module. A current sharing rail can be part of
a system sequencing group.
For fault configuration, the current share rail is configured in a
quasi-redundant mode. In this mode, when a member module
fails, the remaining members continue to operate and attempt to
maintain regulation. Of the remaining modules, the module with
the lowest member position becomes the reference. If fault
spreading is enabled, the current share rail failure is not
broadcast until the entire current share rail fails.
The phase offset of (multi-phase) current sharing modules is
automatically set to a value between 0° and 337.5° in 22.5°
increments as in Equation 3:
? Switching frequency
? Duty cycle
Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to
monitor specific parameters via the I 2 C/SMBus interface.
Snapshot Parameter Capture
The ZL9117M offers a special feature that enables the user to
capture parametric data during normal operation or following a
fault. The SnapShot functionality is enabled by setting bit 1 of
MISC_CONFIG to 1.
See AN2033 for details on using SnapShot in addition to the
parameters supported. The SnapShot feature enables the user to
read parameters via a block read transfer through the SMBus.
This can be done during normal operation, although it should be
noted that reading the 22 bytes occupies the SMBus for some
time.
Phase Offset = SMBus Address [ 4:0 ] – Current

The SNAPSHOT_CONTROL command enables the user to store
the SnapShot parameters to Flash memory in response to a

current sharing.
Phase Adding/Dropping
The ZL9117M allows multiple power converters to be connected
in parallel to supply higher load currents than can be addressed
using a single-phase design. In doing so, the power converter is
optimized at a load current range that requires all phases to be
operational. During periods of light loading, it may be beneficial

pending fault, as well as to read the stored data from Flash
memory after a fault has occurred. Table 3 describes the usage
of this command. Automatic writes to Flash memory following a
fault are triggered when any fault threshold level is exceeded,
provided that the specific fault’s response is to shut down
(writing to Flash memory is not allowed if the device is configured
to re-try following the specific fault condition). It should also be
noted that the module’s V DD voltage must be maintained during
the time when the controller is writing the data to Flash memory;
a process that requires between 700μs to 1400μs, depending on
