Application Information
The IC is a synchronous high voltage buck converter that
can support the input voltage range from 4.5V to 21V and
the output current ca n be up to 3A.
Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set by a n extern al resistive divider
a ccording to the following equation :

Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting
Figure 2. External Bootstra p Diode
where VFB is the feedback reference voltage 0.808V (typ.).
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense a fra ction
of the output voltage a s shown in Figure 1.
External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 100nF low ESR ceramic capacitor between
the BOOT pin and SW pin as shown in Figure 2. This
ca pacitor provides the gate driver voltage for the high side
MOSFET. It is recommended to add an external bootstra p
diode between an external 5V and BOOT pin for efficiency
improvement when input voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty
ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a
low cost one such as IN4148 or BA T54. The external 5V
ca n be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the
IC. Note that the external boot voltage must be lower tha n
5.5V.
Soft-Start
The IC contains an external soft-start cla mp that gradually
raises the output voltage. The soft-start timing is
programmed by the external capacitor between SS pin
and GND. The chip provides an internal 10μA charge current
for the extern al ca pa citor . If 47nF ca pa citor is used to set
the soft-start, the period will be 4.7ms (typ.).
Under Voltage Lockout Threshold
The IC includes an input Under V oltage Lockout Protection
(UVLO). If the input voltage exceeds the UVLO rising
threshold voltage (4.2V), the converter resets and prepares
the PWM for operation. If the input voltage falls below the
UVLO falling threshold voltage (3.8V) during normal
operation, the device stops switching. The UVLO rising
and falling threshold voltage includes a hysteresis to
prevent noise caused reset.
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shut down the device. During shutdown
mode, the IC quiescent current drops to lower tha n 1μA.
Driving the EN pin high (>2V, < 5.5V) will turn on the
device again. For external timing control (e.g.RC), the EN
pin can also be externally pulled high by adding a REN*
resistor and CEN* capacitor from the VIN pin, as can be
seen from the Figure 5.
An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital
control on the EN pin when front age system voltage below
2.5V is available, as shown in Figure 3. In this case, a
100kΩ pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between VIN
and the EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to
pull down the EN pin.
To prevent enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the
VOUT target value, a resistive voltage divider can be placed
between the input voltage a nd ground and connected to
the EN pin to adjust IC lockout threshold, as shown in
Figure 4. For exa mple, if an 8V output voltage is regulated
from a 12V input voltage, the resistor REN2 can be selected
to set input lockout threshold larger than 8V.

Power Good Output
The power good output is an open-drain output and requires
a pull up resistor . When the output voltage is 70% below
its set voltage, PGOOD will be pulled low. It is held low
until the output voltage returns to within the allowed
tolerances once more. During soft-start, PGOOD is actively
held low and only allowed to transition high after soft-start
is over and the output voltage ha s rea ched 90% of its set
voltage.
Under Output Voltage Protection-Hiccup Mode
For the IC, Hiccup Mode of Under V oltage Protection (UVP)
is provided. When the FB voltage drops below half of the
feedback reference voltage, VFB, the UVP function will be
triggered and the IC will shut down for a period of time and
then recover automatically . The Hiccup Mode of UVP ca n
reduce input current in short-circuit conditions.
Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR
losses in the output ca pacitors but also the output voltage
ripple. Highest efficiency operation is achieved by reducing
ripple current at low frequency, but it requires a large
inductor to attain this goal.
For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.24(IMAX)
will be a rea sonable starting point. The largest ripple current
occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple
current stays below a specified maximum, the inductor
value should be chosen according to the following
equation :

The inductor's current rating (caused a 40°C temperature
rising from 25°C ambient) should be greater than the
maximum load current and its saturation current should
be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. Plea se
see Table 2 for the inductor selection reference and it is
highly recommended to keep inductor value as close as
possible to the recommended inductor values for each
VOUT as shown in Table 1.

This formula ha s a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS =
IOUT / 2. This simple worst case condition is commonly
used for design because even significant deviations do
not offer much relief.
Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to
meet size or height requirements in the design.
For the input capacitor, one 22μF low ESR ceramic
capacitors are recommended. For the recommended
ca p a citor , plea se refer to ta ble 3 for more detail.
Table 3. Suggested Capacitors for CIN and COUT
The selection of COUT is determined by the required ESR
to minimize voltage ripple.
Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key
for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable.
Loop stability can be checked by viewing the load transient
response.
The output ripple, ΔVOUT, is determined by :

⎣⎦
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However , care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at input and
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input
a nd the power is supplied by a wall ada pter through long
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden
inrush of current through the long wires can potentially
cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to da mage the
part.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the chip from
operating at excessively high temperatures. When the
junction temperature is higher than 150°C, the chip will
shut down the switching operation. The chip will
automatically resume switching, once the junction
temperature cools down by a pproxi mately 30°C.
Input and Output Capacitors Selection
The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET .
To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input ca pacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The
RMS current is given by :

Since para sitic inductance and capacitance effects in PCB
circuitry would cause a spike voltage on SW pin when
high side MOSFET is turned-on/off, this spike voltage on
SW may impact on EMI performance in the system. In
order to enhance EMI performance, there are two methods
to suppress the spike voltage. One way is by pla cing an
R-C snubber (RS*, CS*) between SW and GND and locating
them as close as possible to the SW pin, as shown in
Figure 5. Reference Circuit with Snubber and Enable Timing Control
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to a mbient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
a mbient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
WDFN-14L 4x3 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
60°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test
board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can
be calculated by the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (60°C/W) = 1.667W for
W DF N-14L 4x3 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 6 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Figure 5. Another method is by adding a resistor in series
with the bootstrap capacitor, CBOOT, but this method will
decrea se the driving ca pability to the high side MOSFET.
It is strongly recommended to reserve the R-C snubber
during PCB layout for EMI improvement. Moreover,
reducing the SW tra ce area a nd keeping the main power
in a small loop will be helpful on EMI performance. For
detailed PCB layout guide, please refer to the section

Layout Considerations
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of the IC.
`Keep the tra ces of the main current paths as short a nd
wide as possible.
`Put the input ca pacitor as close a s possible to the device
pins (VIN and GND).
`SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and
should be kept at small area. Keep analog components
away from the SW node to prevent stray ca pacitive noise
pickup.
Figure 7. PCB Layout Guide
`Connect feedback network behind the output capacitors.
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback
components near the IC.
`Connect all analog grounds to a common node and then
connect the common node to the power ground behind
the output ca p a citors.
`An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 7
for reference.
