4 years agoDifferences between EM2130L02QI and EM2130L01QI
Hi,
I'm using the Intel Enpirion Digital Power Configurator to design the power solution with EM2130L01, but there is no this device in the list, and the closest one is EM2130L02. What's the differ...

4 years agoHello @diverger ,
Here is the answer for your points:
- You don't need the GUI for Rtune calculation, you can calculate the RTUNE based on table 11 at the datasheet pg 22
- you can share your output capacitor and i will help to calculate the Rtune value
- you can also use that attached stability tool to calculate the Rtune
- There is no any difference between L01 and L02 parts and also if you don't need the PMBUS on production you can use EM2030 which cheaper in price https://www.intel.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_US/pdfs/literature/ds/em2030qi_13356.pdf
- L01 will be NRND where there is no many customer use it and L02 is fully compatible with L01
- Pok is push pull for L01 device regardless the PMBUS address

4 years agoThanks for your patience. I'm glad that you can give me more advices in the RTUNE selection. In my design the the output capacitors are:
- Five 330uF, 20%, POSCAP capacitors, with ESR = 15 mOhm.
- Eight 10%, 470nF, X5R
- Three 20%, 47uF, X5R
- Four 20%, 100uF, X5R
BTW: Are there any docs about how to use the tool attached?
Thanks

Hi @diverger ,
The suitable Rtune for your output capacitor is 3.74k.
Regarding the stability tool, it is excel based and very easy to use.
There is a tab called user guide which will help to give you a quick start.
