3. Operational Description
● 3-1 PWM Output Voltage Control
In the SI-8000S, SS series, the output voltage is controlled by the PWM system and the IC integrates the
PWM comparator, oscillator, error amplifier, reference voltage, output transistor drive circuit etc.
The triangular wave output (≈ 60KHz) from the oscillator and the output of the error amplifier are given to
the input of the PWM comparator.
The PWM comparator compares the oscillator output with the error amplifier output to turn on the
switching transistor for a time period when the output of the error amplifier exceeds the oscillator output.

Reference
The error amplifier output and the oscillator output are compared by the PWM comparator to
generate the drive signal of rectangular wave and to drive the switching transistor.
On the assumption that the output voltage attempts to rise, the output of the error amplifier is lowered,
because the error amplifier is of inverting type. As the output of the error amplifier is lowered, the time
period where it falls below the triangular wave level of the oscillator is increased to shorten the ON time of
the switching transistor and as a result, the output voltage is maintained constant.
As described above, the output voltage is controlled by varying the ON time of the switching transistor with
the switching frequency fixed (the higher is VIN, the shorter is the ON time of the switching transistor.)

出力電流
The SI-8000S, SS series integrates a current limiting type overcurrent protection circuit. The overcurrent
protection circuit detects the peak current of a switching transistor and when the peak current exceeds the
set value, the ON time of the transistor is compulsorily shortened to limit the current by lowering the output
voltage. When the output voltage further drops to about 50% of the rated value, the switching frequency is
lowered to about 30KHz to prevent the current increase at low output voltage. When the overcurrent
condition is released, the output voltage will be automatically restored.

The thermal shutdown circuit detects the semiconductor junction temperature of the IC and when the

When the junction temperature drops from the set value for overheat protection by around 15°C, the output
transistor is automatically restored.
* Note for thermal shutdown characteristic
This circuit protects the IC against overheat resulting from the instantaneous short circuit, but it should be
noted that this function does not assure the operation including reliability in the state that overheat
continues due to long time short circuit.

4. Cautions
● 4-1 External Components
4-1-1 Choke coil L1
The choke coil L1 is one of the most important components in the chopper type switching regulator. In
order to maintain the stable operation of the regulator, such dangerous state of operation as saturation state
and operation at high temperature due to heat generation must be avoided.
The following points should be taken into consideration for the selection of the choke coil.
a) The choke coil should be fit for the switching regulator.
The coil for a noise filter should not be used because of large loss and generated heat.
b) The inductance value should be appropriate.
The larger is the inductance of the choke coil, the less is the ripple current flowing across the choke coil,
and the output ripple voltage drops and as a result, the overall size of the coil becomes larger.
On the other hand, if the inductance is small, the peak current flowing across the switching transistor and
diode is increased to make the ripple voltage higher and this operation state is not favorable for maintaining
the stable operation.

The larger is the inductance, the smaller will be
the ripple current/voltage. But the outer size of the
coil becomes larger.
The smaller is the inductance, the larger will be
the ripple current/voltage.
Although the outer size of the coil is smaller, the
operation is likely to be unstable.
The inductance value shown in the specifications should be considered as a reference value for the stable
operation and the appropriate inductance value can be calculated by the equation (1).
ΔIL shows the ripple current value of the choke coil and the lower limit of inductance are set as described
in the following.
-
In the case that the output current to be used is nearly equal to the maximum rating (3A) of the
SI-8000S, SS: output current × 0.2 – 0.3
-
In the case that the output current to be used is approximately 1A or less: output current × 0.3 – 0.4

L1 
(25  5)  5
≒133uH
0.5  25  60  103
As shown above, the coil of about 130μH may be selected.
However, it is to be noted that the peak current of the switching transistor is increased depending on the
calculated inductance value.
Therefore, the peak current detection system is adopted for overcurrent detection and in this case, the
overcurrent detection point may become lower.
c) The rated current shall be met.
The rated current of the choke coil must be higher than the maximum load current to be used. When the
load current exceeds the rated current of the coil, the inductance is sharply decreased to the extent that it
causes saturation state at last. Please note that overcurrent may flow since the high frequency impedance
becomes low.
d) Noise shall be low.
In the open magnetic circuit core which is of drum shape, since magnetic flux passes outside the coil, the
peripheral circuit may be damaged by noise. It is recommended to use the toroidal type, EI type or EE type
coil which has a closed magnetic circuit type core as much as possible.
4-1-2 Input Capacitor C1
The input capacitor is operated as a bypass capacitor of the input circuit to supply steep current to the
regulator during switching and to compensate the voltage drop of the input side. Therefore, the input
capacitor should be connected as close as to the regulator IC.
In addition, in the case that the smoothing capacitor of the AC rectifier circuit is located in the input circuit,
the input capacitor may be also used as a smoothing capacitor, but similar attention should be paid.
The selection of C1 shall be made in consideration of the following points:
a) The requirement of withstand voltage shall be met.
b) The requirement of the allowable ripple voltage shall be met.

EI00062-7 11
SI-8000S, SS
If the withstanding voltages or allowable ripple voltages are exceeded or used without derating, it is in
danger of causing not only the decreasing the capacitor lifetime (burst, capacitance decrease, equivalent
impedance increase, etc) but also the abnormal oscillations of regulator.
Therefore, the selection with sufficient margin is needed.
The effective value of ripple current flowing across the input capacitor can be calculated by the following
equation (2):
Vo

Irms  1.2 
--(2)
For instance, where VIN = 20V, Io = 3A, Vo = 5V,
Irms  1.2 
5
 3  0.9 A
20
Therefore, it is necessary to select the capacitor with the allowable ripple current of 0.9A or higher.
4-1-3 Output Capacitor C2
The output capacitor C2 composes a LC low pass filter together with a choke coil L1 and functions as a
rectifying capacitor of switching output.
The current equivalent to the pulse current ΔIL of the choke coil current is charged and discharged in the
output capacitor.
Therefore, it is necessary to meet the requirements of withstand voltage and allowable ripple current with
sufficient margin like the input capacitor.

When ΔIL = 0.5A,
Irms 

≒ 014

Therefore a capacitor having the allowable ripple current of 0.14A or higher is required.
In addition, the output ripple voltage Vrip of the regulator is determined by a product of the pulse current
EI00062-7 12
SI-8000S, SS
ΔIL of the choke coil current (= C2 charging/discharging current) and the equivalent series resistance ESR
of the output capacitor.
Vrip  IL  C2ESR
---(4)
It is therefore necessary to select a capacitor with low equivalent series resistance ESR in order to lower the
output ripple voltage. As for general electrolytic capacitors of same product series, the ESR shall be lower,
for the products of higher capacitance with same withstand voltage, or with higher withstand voltage
(almost proportional to larger externals) with same capacitance.
When ΔIL = 0.5A, Vrip = 40mV,
C2esr  40  0.5  80m
As shown above, a capacitor with the ESR of 80mΩ or lower should be selected. In addition, since the ESR
varies with temperature and increases at low temperature, it is required to examine the ESR at the actual
operating temperatures. It is recommended to contact the capacitor manufacturers for the ESR value since it
is peculiar to capacitors.
However, if the ESR of the output capacitor is too low (10 - 30mΩ or lower), the phase margin within the
feedback loop of the regulator will be short to make the operation unstable. Therefore, it is not appropriate
that a tantalum capacitor or a laminated ceramic capacitor is used for the output capacitor as an
independent component. However, connecting a tantalum capacitor or a laminated ceramic capacitor in
parallel with an electrolytic capacitor is effective in reducing the output ripple voltage only when it is used
at low temperature (< 0°C).
In addition, in order to further decrease the ripple voltage, as shown below, it is also effective to add one
stage of the LC filter to form the π type filter.

The abnormal oscillation can be caused unless the output voltage detection point (wiring to the Vos
terminal) is placed before the second stage filter if the second stage filter is added. Therefore, the care
should be taken.
It should be noted that the operating stability is more influenced by the ESR than the capacitance as
described above if the requirements of withstand voltage and allowable ripple current are met.
4-1-4 Flywheel Diode D1
The flywheel diode D1 is to discharge the energy which is stored in the choke coil at switching OFF.
For the flywheel diode, the Schottky barrier diode must be used. If a general rectifying diode or fast
EI00062-7 13
SI-8000S, SS
recovery diode is used, the IC may be damaged by applying reverse voltage due to the recovery and ON
voltage.
In addition, since the output voltage from the SWOUT terminal (pin 2) of the SI-8000S, SS series is almost
equivalent to the input voltage, the flywheel diode with the reverse withstand voltage of the input voltage or
higher should be used.

4-2-2 Input / Output Capacitor
The input capacitor C1 and the output capacitor C2 should be connected to the IC as close as possible. If
the rectifying capacitor for AC rectifier circuit is on the input side, it can be used as an input capacitor.
However, if it is not close to the IC, the input capacitor should be connected in addition to the rectifying
capacitor.
Since high current is discharged and charged through the leads of input / output capacitor at high speed, the
leads should be as short as possible.
A similar care should be taken for the patterning of the capacitor.

4-2-3 Sensing Terminal
The output voltage sensing terminal Vos shall be connected near the output capacitor C2 as much as
possible. (Vos terminal flow-in current is approx. 1mA.)
If it is connected far from C2, it should be noted that abnormal oscillation may happen due to the low
regulation and increased switching ripple.

● 4-3 Operation Waveform Check
It can be checked by the waveform between the pin 2 and 3 (SWOUT-GND waveform) of the SI-8000S, SS
whether the switching operation is normal or not.
The examples of waveforms at normal and abnormal operations are shown below:
1. Normal Operation (continuous area)
2. Normal Operation (discontinuous area)
3. When C1 is distant from IC
4. When C2 is distant from IC
The continuous area is an area where the DC component of the triangular wave is superimposed on the
EI00062-7 15
SI-8000S, SS
current flowing across the choke coil and the discontinuous area is an area where the current flowing across
the choke coil is intermittent (a period of zero current may happen.) because the current flowing across the
choke coil is low.
Therefore, when the load current is high, the area is a continuous area and when the same current is low,
the area is a discontinuous area.
In the continuous area, the switching waveform is formed in the normal rectangular waveform (waveform
1) and in the discontinuous area, damped oscillation is caused in the switching waveform (waveform 2), but
this is a normal operation without any problem.
In the meantime, when the IC is far from C1 and C2, jitter which disturbs the ON – OFF time of switching
will happen as shown in the waveforms (3, 4). As described above, C1 and C2 should be connected close to
the IC.
● 4-4 Power Supply Stability
4-4-1 Phase Margin
This block diagram shows that the chopper type regulator is a negative feedback amplifier which controls
the output voltage by constantly comparing with the output voltage and the reference voltage which is set in
advance. Therefore, it has a negative feedback loop to control the output by detecting the variation of
output voltage with the error amplifier.

The phase within the negative feedback loop is displaced by 180° to negate the variation of the output
voltage, but in the event that the phase is further delayed by 180° in the state that the amplification degree
(gain) is 1 or more, the total phase delay amounts to 360° to deviate from the stable operation zone to cause
abnormal oscillation. This is called Barkhausen oscillation conditions. Therefore, the oscillation conditions
should not be accrued in the actual stabilized power supply.
It is possible to judge whether the Barkhausen oscillation conditions are accrued or not by means of
frequency and gain/phase characteristics of the negative feedback loop. The frequency-gain/phase
characteristics are called Bode diagram.

In the Bode diagram, the frequency at which the gain is 1 (0 dB) is called gain intersection and the
frequency at which the phase of feedback loop is -180° is called phase intersection.
Unless the phase reaches -180° at the frequency of gain intersection, the oscillation conditions are not met.
In this respect, the phase at gain intersection - (-180°) is equal to the phase at gain intersection +180° and
this value is used as a margin to -180° which is called phase margin. The more the phase margin is, the less
likely the abnormal oscillation is to occur against the variation of environmental conditions such as input /
output conditions and temperature. Therefore, sufficient phase margin should be taken into consideration in
order to maintain the stable operation.

4-4-2 Phase Characteristics of Regulator IC
The phase characteristics of the chopper type regulator are synthesized by the phase characteristics inside
the regulator IC and that of the LC filter.
The phase characteristics inside the regulator IC are generally determined by the delay time of the control
block and the phase characteristic of the output error amplifier.
Among these two factors, the phase delay due to the delay time of the control block rarely causes problems
EI00062-7 17
SI-8000S, SS
in actual use. Therefore, the phase characteristics of the error amplifier are important.
With respect to the compensation of phase characteristics of the output error amplifier, there are two types
of regulator ICs. One is that compensation is made in the IC in advance, while another type is that external
components such as resistors and capacitors are added to the IC for compensation.
In the former case, it is only a matter of selection of the LC filter, but in the latter case, appropriate phase
compensation should be made in accordance with the application of the product.
4-4-3 Phase Characteristics of LC Filter
The phase margin of the chopper type regulator depends largely on the phase characteristics of the LC filter
for output smoothing. The phase characteristic of the LC filter theoretically shows the characteristics of a
secondary delay factor. Resonance is caused at a specific frequency due to the combination of inductance
L1 of coil and of capacitance C2 of the capacitor and at frequency higher than the resonance point, the
phase is delayed by 180°at a maximum.
The resonance frequency is expressed as shown in the equation (5):
fLC 
1
---(5)
2 LC
The phase characteristics are 0° if they are lower than the resonance frequency fLC.
The phase characteristics are 180° if they are higher than the resonance frequency fLC.
Accordingly, when the LC filter for output smoothing shows the theoretical phase characteristics, the phase
delay reaches -180° in this filter portion and the phase margin will be zero for this regulator.
However, in the actual LC filter, the phase delay of the LC filter is less than 180°because of influence of
the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of capacitor. Consequently, the phase margin can be secured for the
regulator because of this phase compensation effect of the equivalent series resistance (ESR).

Generally speaking, when such capacitors as tantalum capacitors or laminated capacitors are used for the
output LC filter, the phase delay of filters will be large.
Therefore, from the view point of securing the phase margin, use of the electrolytic capacitor is preferable.

4-4-4 Relation of Phase Characteristics of Internal IC and LC Filter
As described above, the phase characteristics of the chopper type regulator is almost determined by the
phase characteristics of the error amplifier and LC filter. In this respect, the relation between these two
characteristics is important.
When the gain lowering commencement frequency of the error amplifier, namely the first pole frequency fp
and the resonant frequency of the LC filter fLC are closer, the phase margin of the regulator is decreased
because of concentrated phase delay. In this respect, the proper distribution of fp and fLC is important.
Normally, the phase delay of error amplifier commences from 0.1 times of the first pole frequency fp.
In order to avoid the concentration of phase delay, the resonant frequency of the LC filter fLC should be
kept to be less than 0.1 times of the first pole frequency fp of the error amplifier.

Generally, the frequency fp of the chopper type regulator IC is set from several KHz to higher than ten
KHz.
With respect to the constants of LC filters described in the applications of each regulator IC, if the
inductance of coil or capacitance of the capacitor is set to be less than the recommended values, the
resonant frequency fLC of the LC filter may rise to decrease the phase margin. Care should be taken to this
phenomenon.
The constants of peripheral components should be properly selected according to the applications of each

The TjMAX is an inherent value for each product, therefore it must be strictly observed.
For this purpose, it is required to design the heat sink in compliance with PdMAX, TaMAX (determination
of θfin).
The heat derating graphically describes this relation.
The designing of the heat sink is carried out by the following procedure:
1) The maximum ambient temperature Ta MAX in the set is obtained.
2) The maximum power dissipation PdMAX is obtained.

3) The size of heat sink is determined from the intersection of the heat derating.

An example of heat calculation for using SI-8050S under the conditions of VIN = 10V, Io = 3A and Ta =

As a result, the heat sink with the thermal resistance of 5°C /W or less is required. As described above, the
heat sink is determined, but the derating of 10 – 20% or more is used. Actually, heat dissipation effect
significantly changes depending on the difference in component mounting. Therefore, heat sink
temperature or case temperature should be checked with the heat sink mounted.
4-5-2 Installation to Heat sink
Selection of silicon grease
When the SI-8000S, SS is installed to the heat sink, silicon grease should be thinly and evenly coated
between the IC and heat sink. Without coating, thermal resistance θi is significantly increased because of
contact failure due to micro concavity/convexity between the backside of the IC and the surface of the heat
sink to accelerate the heating of the IC, resulting in shorter life of the IC.
In some kind of silicon grease to be used, oil component may be separated to penetrate into the IC,
resulting in the deformation of packages or the adverse effect on built-in elements.
Any other silicon grease than one based on the modified silicon oil shall not be used.
The recommended silicon greases are as follows:

Tightening torque of fixing screws
In order to keep the thermal resistance between the IC and the heat sink at low level without damaging the
IC package, it is necessary to control the torque of fixing screws in a proper way.
Even if silicon grease is coated, the thermal resistance θi increases if the tightening torque is not enough.

5. Applications
● 5-1 Soft Start
When a capacitor is connected to terminal 5, the soft start is activated when the input voltage is applied.
The capacitor C3 controls the OFF period of PWM control to control the start -up time, and the delay time
Td and the start-up time Ts are obtained by the following equation.
It should be, however, noted that in the actual equipment, slight fluctuation may happen due to the effects
from input power supplies, load start-up etc. The terminal 5 should be open, when the soft start is not used.

As shown above, it takes 47 ms from power-on to output voltage start-up. However, when C3 is made
larger, it takes longer time for discharging the C3 after VinOFF. It is recommended to use C3 at the value
of 10μF or less. Under the load condition of discontinuous mode (light load), Ts may be shorter than the
above-calculated value.
● 5-2 Output ON / OFF Control
The output ON-Off control is possible using the soft start (No.5) terminal. The output is turned OFF when
the terminal 5 voltage falls to low by such as open collector. It is possible to use the soft start together.
Since the soft start terminal has been already pulled up, no voltage shall be applied from the external side.

* Since no temperature compensation is made for Rex, the temperature characteristic of output voltage is

range of the output voltage becomes wider, the semi-fixed type resistor is required for the adjustment of
accurate output voltage.
The variation range of the output voltage including the variation of Rex, Ivos and Vos is shown as follows:

5-3-3 Cautions for variation of output voltages
The degradation of regulation and the increase in the output voltage temperature coefficient are assumed
when the output voltage is varied.
If it is varied drastically, the increase of coil capacitance value may be required since the overcurrent
protection current is assumed to be lowered due to the increase in coil current.
Therefore, the use within the set output voltage +5V is recommended as for the upper limit of output
voltage variation.
In addition, the MAX value of the set output voltage is recommended as for the lower limit of output
voltage variation.
● 5-4 Spike Noise Reduction
In order to reduce the spike noise, it is possible to compensate the output waveform of the SI-8000S, SS
and the recovery time of the diode by a capacitor, but it should be noted that the efficiency is also slightly
reduced.

* When the spike noise is observed with an oscilloscope, the lead wire may function as an antenna and the
spike noise may be observed extremely higher than usual if the probe GND lead wire is too long. In the
observation of spike noise, the probe lead wire should be as short as possible and be connected with the
root of the output capacitor.
● 5-5 Reverse Bias Protection
A diode for reverse bias protection is required between input and output when the output voltage is higher
than the input terminal voltage, such as in battery chargers.
SI-8000S,SS
● 5-6 Buck-boost converter
5-6-1 Choke coil L1, diode D1 current rating
Since the circuitry of the buck-boost converter is different from that of the buck converter, current flowing
across the choke coil L1 and the diode D1 is large. The peak current can be calculated by the equation 20.
As seen in this equation, the lower is the input voltage, the larger is the peak current, therefore the choke
coil and diode which can meet the peak current at the lowest input voltage should be selected.

5-6-2 Ripple current of input/output capacitor C1 and C2
In comparison with the buck converter, large ripple current flows across the output capacitor C2, therefore
care should be taken of the allowable ripple current. The ripple current (Colrms) of the output capacitor can
be calculated by the equation 22.
Since the ripple current is large in the buck-boost converter in comparison with the boost converter, it is
recommended to use products with low ESR.
The ripple current (CinIrms) of the input capacitor is obtained by the equation 21.

Since the circuitry of the buck-boost converter is different from that of the buck converter, the choke coil
capacitance is unable to be calculated by the same design procedure as that of the buck converter.
In the case of the buck converter, as the energy stored in the coil becomes the output power, the inductance
L1 of the choke coil can be calculated by the equations 24 and 25.

5-6-4 Input voltage and output current ranges
Input voltage, output current and peak current ranges in the case that the SI-8000S and SS series are used
as a buck-boost converter are shown below, but the actual operational values should be evaluated
sufficiently.
-
Input voltage: The sum of input voltage and output voltage is applied between the emitter and
collector of the switching transistor; therefore the maximum input voltage is 40V - Vo. As the peak
current increases rapidly, the input voltage range is 10 - 40Vo (V).
-
Output current: The maximum output current is around 0.8A subject to the inductance of the choke
coil.
-
Peak current: In the case that the peak current is large, as the overcurrent protection is likely to be
operated, the peak current should be 3A or lower. Although the peak current can be calculated by the
equation 20, it should be checked in the actual operation.

8. Terminology
-
Jitter
It is a kind of abnormal switching operations and is a phenomenon that the switching pulse width
varies in spite of the constant condition of input / output. The output ripple voltage peak width is
increased when a jitter occurs.
-
Recommended Conditions
It shows the operation conditions required for maintaining normal circuit functions. It is required to
meet the conditions in actual operations.
-
Absolute Maximum Ratings
It shows the destruction limits. It is required to take care so that even one item does not exceed the
specified value for a moment during instantaneous or normal operation.
-
Electrical Characteristics
It is the specified characteristic values in the operation under the conditions shown in each item. If the
operating conditions are different, it may be out of the specifications.
-
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
It is a kind of pulse modulation systems. The modulation is achieved by changing the pulse width in
accordance with the variation of modulation signal waveform (the output voltage for chopper type
switching regulator).
-
ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
It is the equivalent series resistance of a capacitor. It acts in a similar manner to the resistor
series-connected to the capacitor.
