ILC6377 1.3
The ILC6377 is a 95% efficient, 300kHz step-down DC-DC
converter in an SO-8 package; capable of delivering 500mA
output current. The device is also capable of driving an
external FET for higher output current applications.
The ILC6377 uses a unique p-channel architecture with
built-in charge pump to maintain low on-resistance, even at
low input voltages. At high or normal currents the ILC6377
operates in PWM mode with 300kHz operating frequency.
When the load current drops and the device hits approxi-
mately 17% duty cycle, it automatically switches over to
PFM or pulse skipping mode. PFM (pulse frequency mod-
ulation) mode of operation extends efficiency at light loads.
Start-up is controlled via an external soft-start capacitor . The
device will automatically re-enter start-up mode when an
output current overload condition is sensed; thus providing
automatic short-circuit protection. Voltage lockout prevents
faulty operation below the minimum operating voltage level.
In shutdown, the ILC6377 consumes only 1.5mA current.
The ILC6377SO-XX offers fixed 3.3V or 5V ouput while
ILC6377SO-Adj allows adjustable output. Both versions of
ILC6377 are available in an SO-8 surface mount package.

External component selection
Proper selection of external components is important for
achieving high performance. The output inductor selected
should have low DC resistance on the order of 0.2W or less
and saturation current rating of 1A or higher.
Recommended inductors are Sumida CD54 (22mH, 0.18W
max DC resistance) or Coilcraft DO3308P-223 (22mH,
0.18W max DC resistance) or equivalent.
The catch diode should be a schottky diode with low for-
ward drop and rated at 1A or greater current, MA735 or it’s
equivalent is recommended.
Input and output capacitors should be tantalum capacitors
with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and voltage rat-
ing higher than the actual application.
Soft-start
Pin 4 of ILC6377 functions as the soft-start pin as well as the
shutdown pin. A soft-start capacitor (from pin 4 to ground)
controls the rate at which the power supply starts up; thus
preventing large overshoots at the output as well as large in-
rush current. The value for CSS should be 100pF or greater.
Shutdown
The ILC6377 is placed in shutdown mode by taking pin 4 to
ground. In shutdown, the quiescent current of the device is
under 2mA. When using the shutdown feature, pin 4 must
be driven from an open collector or open drain output with-
out employing an external pull-up resistor, as shown in fig-
ure 2. Since pin 4 is also used to charge an external capac-
itor for soft-start, this pin should not be driven from a push-
pull CMOS type output.
Over-current and short-circuit protection
In the event of an over-current or short-circuit condition, the
ILC6377 cycles the soft-start pin in a hiccup mode to provide
fault protection. When the output voltage decreases due to
overload, the ILC6377 will operate continuously at the max-
imum duty cycle. If the period of maximum duty cycle oper-
ation exceeds TPRO (typically 5 msec), pin 4 will be pulled
low; thus discharging the external soft-start capacitor CSS.
This action inhibits the regulators PWM action. Next, the
ILC6377’s soft-start circuitry starts recharging CSS and initi-
ates a controlled start-up. If the overload condition continues
to exist, the above sequence of events will repeat; thus con-
tinuing to cycle the soft-start function.
Note that very little power is dissipated with this method of
fault protection versus constant current limit protection.
Even though the internal power MOSFET is pulsed on and
off at high peak current, the DC current is low; thus leading
to low power dissipation even under short-circuit conditions.
Keep in mind that the duration of maximum duty cycle
condition is used to trigger the ILC6377’s fault protec-
tion circuit. As such, a small input-output (VIN - VOUT)
differential voltage may trigger the device’ s fault protec-
tion circuitry even at low output current.
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout feature prevents faulty operation
by disabling the operation of the regulator when input volt-
age is below the minimum operating voltage, VUVLO. When
the input voltage is lower than VUVLO the device disables
the internal P-channel MOSFET and provides “high” output
at both EXT1 and EXT2 outputs.
Figure 2 shows a typical fixed output voltage step-down DC-DC
converter application circuit for ILC6377SO-XX

ILC6377 1.3
The EXT1 and EXT2 pins are provided so as to drive
external transistors; thus allowing design flexibility.
The EXT output drive signal has the same timing as
the gate drive to the internal P-channel MOSFET i.e.
EXT output is low as long as the internal MOSFET is
on. Both EXT1 and EXT2 pins are capable of driving
1000pF gate capacitance. For example, a high out-
put current application circuit using an external P-
channel MOSFET is shown in figure 2.

P-Channel Boost Circuit
The ILC6377 includes a unique P-Channel MOSFET
architecture with built-in charge pump to maintain low
on-resistance even at low input voltages. As shown in
figure 3, a 2200pF ceramic capacitor and a schottky
diode ( MA729 or equivalent ) allows the gate voltage
of the internal P-Channel MOSFET to be driven neg-
ative; thus reducing the switch on-resistance. This
technique can be employed to increase efficiency at
low input voltages and high output currents.
Note that the voltage between VIN and P_BST should not
exceed 10V, otherwise damage to the device may occur.
For high input voltage applications the schottky diode
should be replaced by a low voltage zener diode so that the
P_BST pin is clamped to a safe negative voltage.

Adjustable Output ( ILC6377SO-Adj )
For adjustable output voltage ILC6377SO-Adj should be
used. All connections to the ILC6377SO-Adj are the same
as ILC6377SO-XX, except for the feedback voltage divider
network shown in figure 4. The output voltage, VOUT, can be
calculated from the following equation:
VOUT = VFB ( 1 + RFB1/RFB2 ),
where VFB is approximately 1V and
RFB1 + RFB2 < 2M
The feedback compensation capacitor should be chosen
such that the pole frequency f is between 1kHz and 20kHz:
The pole frequency should generally be set at 5kHz. The
value of CFB calculated from the above equation may
require some adjustment depending on the output inductor
( L ) and output capacitor ( CL ) values chosen.
Example for 3V output :
RFB1 = 400k
RFB2 = 200k
CFB = 100pF
PC Board Layout
As with all switching DC-DC converter designs, good PC
board layout is critical for optimum performance. The heavy
lines indicated in figure 1 schematic should be wide
printed circuit board traces and should be kept as short
as is practical. A large ground plane with as much copper
area as is allowable should be used. All external compo-
nents should be mounted as close to the IC as possible. For
ILC6377SO-Adj, the feedback resistors and their associat-
ed wiring should be kept away from the inductor location
and the vicinity of inductive flux.
