XC6209/XC6212
Series
1. For temporary, transitional voltage drop or voltage rising phenomenon, the IC is liable to malfunction should the ratings
be exceeded.
2. Where wiring impedance is high, operations may become unstable due to noise and/or phase lag depending on output current.
Please strengthen VIN and VSS wiring in particular.
3. Please wire the input capacitor (CIN) and the output capacitor (CL) as close to the IC as possible.
4. The IC is controlled with constant current start-up. Start-up sequence control is requested to draw a load current after even
nominal output voltage rising up the output voltage.
5. Torex places an importance on improving our products and their reliability.
We request that users incorporate fail-safe designs and post-aging protection treatment when using Torex products in their
systems.
■OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION
Output voltage control with the XC6209/XC6212 series:
The voltage divided by resistors R1 & R2 is compared with the internal
reference voltage by the error amplifier.
The P-channel MOSFET, which is connected to the VOUT pin, is then
driven by the subsequent output signal. The output voltage at the VOUT
pin is controlled & stabilized by a system of negative feedback.
The current limit circuit and short protect circuit operate in relation to
the level of output current. Further, the IC's internal circuitry can be
shutdown via the CE pin's signal.
<Low ESR Capacitors>
With the XC6209/XC6212 series, a stable output voltage is achievable even if used with low ESR capacitors as a phase
compensation circuit is built-in. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the phase compensation, we suggest that an output
capacitor (CL) is connected as close as possible to the output pin (VOUT) and the VSS pin. Please use an output capacitor with
a capacitance value of at least 1μF. Also, please connect an input capacitor (CIN) of 0.1μF between the VIN pin and the VSS
pin in order to ensure a stable power input.
Stable phase compensation may not be ensured if the capacitor runs out capacitance when depending on bias and
temperature. In case the capacitor depends on the bias and temperature, please make sure the capacitor can ensure the
actual capacitance.
<Current Limiter, Short-Circuit Protection>
The XC6209/XC6212 series includes a combination of a fixed current limiter circuit & a foldback circuit, which aid the
operations of the current limiter and circuit protection. When the load current reaches the current limit level, the fixed current
limiter circuit operates and output voltage drops. As a result of this drop in output voltage, the foldback circuit operates, output
voltage drops further and output current decreases. When the output pin is shorted, a current of about 50mA flows.
<CE Pin>
The IC's internal circuitry can be shutdown via the signal from the CE pin with the XC6209/XC6212 series. In shutdown mode,
output at the VOUT pin will be pulled down to the VSS level via R1 & R2. The operational logic of the IC's CE pin is selectable
(please refer to the selection guide). Note that as the standard XC6209/XC6212B type is ' Active High /No Pull Down',
operations will become unstable with the CE pin open. Although the CE pin is equal to an inverter input with CMOS hysteresis,
with either the pull-up or pull-down options, the CE pin input current will increase when the IC’s in operation.
We suggest that you use this IC with either a VIN voltage or a VSS voltage input at the CE pin. If this IC is used with the
correct specifications for the CE pin, the IC will operate normally. However, supply current may increase as a result of through
current in the IC's internal circuitry
