●3-1 PWM Output Voltage Control
In the SI-8000E series, the output voltage is controlled by the PWM system and the IC incorporates 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.

Output
On the assumption that the output voltage attempts to rise, the output of the error amplifier is lowered, because
the error amplifier is inverting type. As the error amplifier output 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 VIN is, the
shorter the ON time of the switching transistor is.)
The rectangular wave output of the switching transistor is smoothed by the LC low pass filter configured by a
8
SI-8000E
choke coil and a capacitor, and the stabilized DC voltage is supplied to the load.
●3-2 Input / Output Current and Choke Coil Current
The rectangular output which is produced by the switching transistor of the SI-8000E is converted into DC
output voltage by being smoothed by the LC filter configured by a choke coil and an output capacitor. The
operation of this LC filter significantly affects the stable operation of the chopper type regulator. The relation
between the choke coil and the current and the relation between the current and the ripple voltage are shown
below.
Emitter Voltage
(Switching Output)
The current IL flowing in the choke coil is of triangular wave shape. This triangular wave is configured by two
kinds of current components, Itr and Idi. The current Itr is supplied from the input side through the transistor
when the transistor is ON and its average value is input current Iin. The current Idi is the current that the
energy stored in the choke coil is commutated via the flywheel diode Di when the transistor is OFF. The total
of Itr and Idi is the current IL of choke coil. In addition, the average value of IL is the DC output current Io
since the triangular wave component superimposed on the IL is smoothed by charging and discharging of the
capacitor C.

the transistor is compulsorily shortened to limit
the current by lowering the output voltage. In addition, when the output voltage is lowered up to the
50% of the rated value, the increase of current at low output voltage is prevented by dropping the
switching frequency to about 25kHz. When the overcurrent condition is released, the output voltage
will be automatically restored.

4. Cautions
●4-1 External Components
4-1-1 Choke coil L
The choke coil L supplies current to the load side when the switching transistor is OFF. It is a key component
of 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 the inductance of the choke coil is, the less the ripple current flowing in the choke coil is, 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 in the switching transistor and diode is
increased and the ripple voltage becomes higher and this operation state is not favorable for maintaining the
stable operation.
Large Inductance
Small Inductance Large Ripple Voltage/ Current
Small Ripple Voltage/ Current
The larger the inductance is, the smaller the

ripple current/voltage is. But the outer size of the
ripple current/voltage is.
coil becomes larger.
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
obtained by the following equation.
ΔIL shows the ripple current value of the choke coil and the inductance value is set as described in the
following.
-
In the case that the output current to be used is nearly equal to the maximum rating (0.6A) of the
SI-8000E: Output current × 0.5- 0.6

≒222 uH
0.2  25  60  10 3
As shown above, the coil of about 220μH may be selected.
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 like drum shape type, since magnetic flux passes outside the coil, the
peripheral circuit may be affected 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
placed 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 current shall be met.
Current Flow of C1
Current Waveform of C1
Ripple Current
The ripple current of the input
capacitor is increased in accordance
with the increase of the load current.
If the withstanding voltage and allowable ripple current 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 obtained by the
following equation:

Irms  1.2 

For instance, where Iout=0.6A, Vin=20V, Vo=5V,
I r m s1.2 
5
 0.6  0.18 A
20
Therefore, it is necessary to select the capacitor with the allowable ripple current of 0.18A or higher.
4-1-3 Output Capacitor C2
The output capacitor C2 configures an LC low pass filter together with a choke coil L 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. Additional
points to be checked are DC equivalent series resistance (ESR) and capacitance.
The following points should be taken into consideration.
Current Flow of C2
Current Waveform of C2
Ripple Current
The ripple current of the output
capacitor is equal to the ripple current
of the choke coil and does not vary
even if the load current increases or
decreases.
-
Allowable Ripple Current
The ripple current effective value of the output capacitor is obtained by the equation.
Irms 
IL
2 3
Irms 
0.3
---(3)
When ΔIL = 0.3A,
2 3
≒0.09 A
Therefore a capacitor having the allowable ripple current of 0.09A or higher is required.
-
DC equivalent series resistance (ESR)
It is necessary for the stable operation to select the ESR properly. When the ESR is too large or too small,
abnormal oscillation due to increase of ripple voltage or insufficient phase margin occurs respectively. The
output ripple voltage is determined by a product of the pulse current ΔIL (=C2 discharge and charge current)
of the choke coil current and the ESR, and the output ripple voltage which is 0.5 % - 2% of the output voltage
13
SI-8000E
(for example, where 0.5% at Vout = 5V, 25mV) is good for the stable operation. Please refer to the equations
(4) and (5) to obtain the output ripple voltage. It should be noted that the ESR is changeable subject to
temperature and it is especially lowered at high temperature.
Vrip 
Vin  Vout Vout ESR - - - (4)
L  Vin  f
Vrip  IL  ESR - - - (5)
When the ESR is too low (approx. 10 – 20mΩ or lower), the phase delay becomes larger, resulting in
abnormal oscillation.
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.
SI-8000E
L2 : 20uH
Co2 : 200uF
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.
With respect to the layout of the output capacitor, if it is located far from the IC, it will give same effect as the
increase of ESR due to wiring resistance etc., therefore it is recommended to place it near the IC.
4-1-4 Flywheel Diode Di
The flywheel diode Di 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 recovery
diode is used, the IC may be destroyed by applying reverse voltage due to the recovery and ON voltage.

●4-2 Pattern Design Notes
4-2-1 High Current Line
Since high current flows in the bold lines in the connection diagram, the pattern should be as wide and short as
possible.
SI-8000E
4-2-2 Input/ Output Capacitor
The input capacitor C1 and the output capacitor C2 should be placed 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.

●4-3 Operation Waveform Check
It can be checked by the waveform between the pin 2 and 3 (SWOut waveform) of the SI-8000E 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 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.

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 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.

An example of heat calculation for using SI-8050E under the conditions of VIN = 10V, Iout = 0.6A and Ta =

As a result, the heat sink with the thermal resistance of 56.5°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
17
SI-8000E
case temperature should be checked with the heat sink mounted.
4-4-2 Installation to Heat sink
Selection of silicon grease
When the SI-8000E 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.
Change rate of thermal resistance (%)
For the SI-8000E, 58.8 – 68.6N cm (6.0 – 7.0 kg cm) are recommended.

Vos: Set output voltage for product
Vout‘: Variable output voltage
Ivos :Vos terminal in-flow current≒1mA
* Since no temperature compensation is made for Rex, the temperature characteristic of output voltage is
lowered. Ivos is variable at maximum ±20% depending on each IC product. Therefore, as the variation 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:

●5-1-3 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.
●5-2 Spike Noise Reduction
In order to reduce the spike noise, it is possible to compensate the output waveform of the SI-8000E and the
recovery time of the diode by a capacitor, but it should be noted that the efficiency is also slightly reduced.

observation of spike noise, the probe lead wire should be made as short as possible and be connected with the
root of the output capacitor.

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 and 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 pacified
value for a moment during instantaneous or normal operation.
-
Electrical Characteristics
It is the specified characteristic value 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.
