Output Voltage Sense
VOUT_SENSE, GNDOUT_SENSE (P5): this allows the user to
measure the voltage at the output of the regulator and
remove any losses generated due to the connections, from
the measurement. This can also be used by an active load
with sense capability.
Power Good Indication
PGD (P4): is an open drain output and is pulled up with a
10 kΩ resistor to VIN. When VFB is within ± 50 % percent
of the set voltage this pin will go HI to indicate the output
is okay.
POWER UP PROCEDURE
To turn-on the reference board, apply 12 V to VIN with the P3
jumper is in position (this disables the part).
To enable the part remove P3, a voltage can now be
observed at the output.
Note
• Note: When applying higher than 12 V to the input it is
reasonable to install a RC snubber from LX to GND. There are
place holders on the reference board R7 and C10 for the
snubber. Values of 10 Ω and 1 nF are a reasonable starting point.
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE REFERENCE BOARD
Output Voltage Adjustment
If a different output voltage is needed, simply change the
value of VOUT and solve for R3 based on the following
formula:
( V OUT - V FB )
R3 = R4 x ----------------------------------V FB
Where VFB is 0.6 V for the SiP12116.
Output Ripple Voltage
Output ripple voltage is measured with a tip and barrel
measurement across COUT. Typically output ripple voltage is
set to 3 % to 5 % of the output voltage, but an all ceramic
output solution can bring output ripple voltage to a much
lower level since the ESR of ceramics is very small.
If ceramics or a combination of ceramics and bulk
capacitors are used it may be necessary to add a voltage
injection network.
Inductor Selection
The choice of inductor is specific to each application and
quickly determined with the following equations:
V OUT
t on = ---------------------------------------V IN_MAX. × f SW
( V IN – V OUT ) × t on
L = ----------------------------------------------I OUT_MAX. × k
Where k is a percentage of maximum output inductor ripple
current required. The designer can quickly make a choice if
the ripple percentage is already decided based on the
system design; it should be noted that the SiP12116 uses
an internal current sense mechanism which translates as
the voltage ripple component. The SiP12116 requires a

reasonable ripple current, we recommend around 50 % as a
start point.
Other than the inductance the DCR and saturation current
parameters are key values. The DCR causes an I2R loss
which will decrease the system efficiency and generate
heat. The saturation current has to be higher than the
maximum output current plus 1/2 the ripple current. In over
current condition the inductor current may be very high. All
this needs to be considered when selecting the inductor.
On this board Vishay IHLP series inductors are used to meet
cost requirement and high efficiency, a part that utilizes a
material that has incredible saturation levels compared to
competing products.
Output Capacitor Selection
Voltage rating, ESR, transient response, overall PCB area
and cost are requirements for selecting output capacitors.
The types of capacitors and there general advantages and
disadvantages are covered next.
Electrolytic have high ESR, dry out over time so ripple
current rating must be examined and have slower transient
response, but are fairly inexpensive for the amount of overall
capacitance.
Tantalums can come in low ESR varieties and high
capacitance value for its overall size, but they fail short when
damaged and also have slower transient response.
Ceramics have very low ESR, fast transient response and
overall small size, but come in low capacitance values
compared to the others above. A combination of technology
is sensible.
Enable Pin Voltage
The ENL pin will need to be set to enable the part. This pin
accepts an input voltage up to 5 V. On the reference design
the pin has a voltage divider from VIN. There is also a jumper,
P3, which shorts the pin to GND, this can be removed when
a suitable voltage has been applied to VIN enabling the
device.
Bootstrap Circuit
A bootstrap capacitor of 100 nF will be sufficient for this
circuit with a switching frequency of 600 kHz. A series
resistor has been added in order to slow down the low side
switch and minimize overshoot without adding a snubber.
This is user adjustable. This can be reduced to 0R to
improve efficiency.
VDD Decoupling
The VDD pin will need to be decoupled in order to provide a
stable voltage internally and externally. The value for this
capacitor is recommended as ≥ 1 μF.
Current Limit
The current limit is set internally to 4.8 A. This will include the
output current plus half of the ripple current. If the output
current is greater than this value the current limit will be
activated.

Output Capacitance
The output capacitance will be determined by the ripple
voltage requirement. Voltage mode COT topology can work
with very small values of capacitor ESR however a ripple
injection network will also be required for stable operation.

The overall capacitance needs to be calculated next. The
following equations are used to calculate the size needed to
meet a transient load response:

I LPK = I OUT + 0.5 × I RIPPLE_MAX.

C OUT_MIN.
L × ( I OUT + 0.5 × I RIPPLE_MAX. )
= -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------2

( V PK ) - ( V OUT )
Where ILPK is the peak inductor current, IRIPPLE_MAX. is the
maximum current ripple, IOUT is the maximum output
current, and VPK is the output voltage plus the rise on load
release.
Input Capacitance
In order to keep the design compact and minimize parasitic
elements, ceramic capacitors will be chosen. The initial
requirement for the input capacitance is decided by the
maximum input voltage, 15 V in this case however a 35 V
rated capacitor will be chosen of the X7R variety.
In order to determine the minimum capacitance the input
voltage ripple needs to be specified; VCINPP ≤ 150 mV is a
suitable starting point. This magnitude is determined by the
final application specification. The input current needs to be
determined for the lowest operating input voltage:
I OUT
I CIN ( RMS ) = ------------ × V OUT × ( V IN - VOUT )
V IN
The minimum input capacitance can then be found,
DC- ( 1- DC )
C IN_MIN. = I OUT × ----------------------------------V CINPP × f SW
Snubber
Provision has been made for a snubber on the underside of
the board which the user might need to consider populating
if a higher input voltage is required.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The SiP12116 offers the designer a compact buck regulator
solution. If the below layout recommendations are followed,
the same layout can be used to cover a wide range of output
currents and voltages without any changes to the board
design and only minor changes to the component values in
the schematic.
The reference design has a majority of the components
placed on the top layer. This allows for easy assembly and
straightforward layout.
Figure 1 outlines the pointers for the layout considerations
and the explanations follow.

Fig. 1 - Reference Design Pointers
1. Place input ceramic capacitors close to the voltage input
pins with a small 10 nF/100 nF placed as close as the
design rules will allow. This will help reduce the size of
the input high frequency current loop and consequently
reduce the high frequency ripple noise seen at the input
and the LX node.
2. Place the setup and control passive devices logically
around the IC with the intention of placing a quiet ground
plane beneath them on a secondary layer.
3. It is advisable to use ceramic capacitors at the output to
reduce impedance. Place these as close to the IC PGND
and output voltage node as design will allow. Place a
small 10 nF/100 nF ceramic capacitor closest to the IC
and inductor loop.
4. The loop between LX, VOUT and the IC GND should be as
compact as possible. This will lower series resistance
and also make the current loop smaller enabling the high
frequency response of the output capacitors to take
effect.
5. The output impedance should be small when high
current is required; use high current traces, multiple
layers can be used with many vias if the design allows.
6. Use many vias when multiple layers are involved. This
will have the effect of lowering the resistance between
layers and reducing the via inductance of the PCB nets.
7. The quiet AGND should be connected to the PGND plane
near to the input GND at one connection only of at least
1 mm width.
8. PGND can be used on internal layers if the resistance of
the PCB is to be small; this will also help remove heat.
Use extra vias if needed but be mindful to allow a path
between the vias.
9. A quiet plane should be employed for the AGND, this is
placed under the small signal passives. This can be
placed on multiple layers if needed for heat removal.
10. The LX copper can also be used on multiple layers, use
a number of vias.
11. The copper area beneath the inductor has been removed
(on all layers) in this design to reduce the inductive
coupling that occurs between the inductor and the GND
trace. No other voltage planes should be placed under
this area.
