PIN DISCRIPTION
1 pin_PWGD:
Power-Good pin. When the output voltage achieved to
±20% of set voltage, this pin becomes “Hi”.
2 pin_FSYN:
External Synchronous Clock Input pin. Internal pull-up
resistor is 300kΩ. The external clock within ±20% of
relative value is available, which is to the internal clock,
and it is set by the resistor at RT pin.
3 pin_PWON:
Power-ON pin. It starts in the voltage which is 1.5V and
more.
4 pin_RT:
The setup pin of operation frequency. It is the setup by a
resistor.
5 pin_SGND:
Signal Ground pin.
7 pin_CC:
Output pin of Output Voltage Feedback Amplifier. A
resistor and a capacitor are placed in a parallel
connection, and those are connected between CC pin and
Vref/SS pin. And those compensate a phase of an
amplifier.
8 pin_FB:
Input pin of Output Voltage Feedback Amplifier. The
voltage is controlled so that this pin voltage becomes
0.6V. Two resistors for the feedback should be placed in
a series between the output stage and GND, and the
connected point of two should be connected to FB pin.
9 pin, 16pin_VIN:
Input pin of Main Power Voltage. A capacitor should be
placed between VIN pin and GND, which is 4.7uF and
more.
10 pin, 11 pin, 14 pin, 15 pin_SW:
Output pin of the internal switching MOSFET.
6 pin_SS:
Soft Start pin. It should connect the capacitor of 0.047uF
and more between SS pin and GND. It charges an external
capacitor at the time of startup, and Soft Start works. And,
when the AL2010 is in the protection state of over current,
the external capacitor is discharged and it makes the stop
time in a hiccup operation.
12 pin, 13 pin_PGND:
Power Ground pin.
Protection Feature Description
Thermal Protection (TSD: Thermal Shutdown)
The chip temperature is monitored, and the built-in P-channel MOSFET and the built-in N-channel MOSFET are stopped
when the chip temperature becomes about 150°C. The thermal protection function discharges electrical charge of the SS
pin at this time, therefore a recovery sequence from the thermal protection is always in a soft start operation. This function
has a hysteresis, and the AL2010 is restarted by soft start when the chip temperature decreases 15°C from the thermal
shutdown threshold.
Prevention of Incorrect Operation in Low Voltage (UVLO: Under Voltage Lock Out)
When the V5 pin voltage becomes less than 2.5V by a main power supply voltage decrease, all circuit blocks in the
AL2010 are stopped and the AL2010 becomes UVLO state. The UVLO state has hysteresis, and the AL2010 keeps UVLO
state until the main power supply voltage rises again and exceeds 2.7V. When the UVLO state is released, the AL2010
restarts by a soft start operation.
Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
When the output voltage becomes +30% or more of the setting value, the built-in P-channel MOSFET and the built-in
N-channel MOSFET become OFF state and the AL2010 enters protection mode. This state is maintained until the built-in
P-channel MOSFET is turned on by the FB amplifier. The AL2010 is in normal operation when recovering from the output
over-voltage protection. It does not shift to soft-start mode.
