XC9223/XC9224 Series
ETR0509_007
1A Driver Transistor Built-In Step-Down DC/DC Converters
☆GreenOperation-Compatible
■GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XC9223/XC9224 series are synchronous step-down DC/DC converters with a 0.21Ω (TYP.) P-channel driver transistor and a
synchronous 0.23Ω (TYP.) N-channel switching transistor built-in. A highly efficient and stable current can be supplied up to 1.0A by
reducing ON resistance of the built-in transistor. With a high switching frequency of 1.0MHz or 2.0MHz, a small inductor is selectable;
therefore, the XC9223/XC9224 series are ideally suited to applications with height limitation such as HDD or space-saving
applications. Current limit value can be chosen either 1.2A (MIN.) when the LIM pin is high level, or 0.6A (MIN.) when the LIM pin is
low level for using the power supply which current limit value differs such as USB or AC adapter. With the MODE/SYNC pin, the
XC9223/XC9224 series provide mode selection of the fixed PWM control or automatically switching current limit PFM/PWM control.
As for preventing unwanted switching noise, the XC9223/XC9224 series can be synchronized with an external clock signal within the
range of ± 25% toward an internal clock signal via the MODE/SYNC pin. For protection against heat damage of the ICs, the
XC9223/XC9224 series build in three protection functions: integral latch protection, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection.
With the built-in U.V.L.O. (Under Voltage Lock Out) function, the internal P-channel driver transistor is forced OFF when input voltage
becomes 1.8V or lower. The XC9223B/XC9224B series’ detector function monitors the discretional voltage by external resistors.

■TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
(*1) A capacitor of 2200pF～0.1μF is recommended to place at the CDD between the AGND pin and the VIN pin.
Please refer to the page showing INSTRUCTION ON PATTERN LAYOUT for more detail.
<Output Voltage Setting>
Output voltage can be set by adding external split resistors. Output voltage is determined by the following equation,
based on the values of RFB1 and RFB2. The sum of RFB1 and RFB2 should normally be 1MΩ or less.
VOUT = 0.8 x (RFB1 + RFB2) / RFB2
The value of CFB, speed-up capacitor for phase compensation, should be fzfb = 1 / (2 x π x CFB1 x RFB1) which is equal to
20kHz. Adjustments are required from 1kHz to 50kHz depending on the application, value of inductance (L), and value of
load capacity (CL).
[Example of calculation]
When RFB1=470kΩ, RFB2=150kΩ,
VOUT1 = 0.8 x (470k + 150k) / 150k =3.3V

XC9223/XC9224
Series
■OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION
Each unit of the XC9223/XC9224 series consists of a reference voltage source, a ramp wave circuit, error amplifier, PWM
comparator, phase compensation circuit, output voltage adjustment resistors, P-channel MOS driver transistor, N-channel
MOS synchronous rectification switching transistor, current limiter circuit, U.V.L.O. circuit and others. The series
compares, using the error amplifier, the internal reference voltage to the VOUT pin with the voltage feedback via resistors
RFB1 and RFB2. Phase compensation is performed on the resulting error amplifier output, to input a signal to the PWM
comparator to determine the turn-on time during PWM operation. The PWM comparator compares, in terms of voltage
level, the signal from the error amplifier with the ramp wave from the ramp wave circuit, and delivers the resulting output to
the buffer driver circuit to cause the Lx pin to output a switching duty cycle. This process is continuously performed to
ensure stable output voltage. The current feedback circuit monitors the P-channel MOS driver transistor current for each
switching operation, and modulates the error amplifier output signal to provide multiple feedback signals. This enables a
stable feedback loop even when a low ESR capacitor, such as a ceramic capacitor, is used, ensuring stable output voltage.
<Reference Voltage Source>
The reference voltage source provides the reference voltage to ensure stable output voltage of the DC/DC converter.
<Ramp Wave Circuit>
The ramp wave circuit determines switching frequency. The frequency is fixed internally and can be selected from 1.0MHz
and 2.0MHz. Clock pulses generated in this circuit are used to produce ramp waveforms needed for PWM operation, and
to synchronize all the internal circuits.
<Error Amplifier>
The error amplifier is designed to monitor output voltage. The amplifier compares the reference voltage with the feedback
voltage divided by the internal resistors (RFB1 and RFB2). When a voltage lower than the reference voltage is fed back, the
output voltage of the error amplifier increases. The gain and frequency characteristics of the error amplifier output are
fixed internally to deliver an optimized signal to the mixer.
<Current Limit>
The current limiter circuit of the XC9223/XC9224 series monitors the current flowing through the P-channel MOS driver
transistor connected to the Lx pin, and features a combination of the constant-current type current limit mode and the
operation suspension mode. For the current limit values, please select the values either from 1.2A (MIN.) when the LIM
pin is high level or 0.6A (MIN.) when the LIM pin is low level.
1When the driver current is greater than a specific level, the constant-current type current limit function operates to turn
off the pulses from the Lx pin at any given time.
2When the driver transistor is turned off, the limiter circuit is then released from the current limit detection state.
3At the next pulse, the driver transistor is turned on. However, the transistor is immediately turned off in the case of an
over current state.
4 When the over current state is eliminated, the IC resumes its normal operation.
The IC waits for the over current state to end by repeating the steps 1 through 3. If an over current state continues for
several msec and the above three steps are repeatedly performed, the IC performs the function of latching the OFF state of
the driver transistor, and goes into operation suspension mode. After being put into suspension mode, the IC can resume
operation by turning itself off once and then starting it up using the CE pin, or by restoring power to the VIN pin. Integral
latch time may be released from a current limit detection state because of the noise. Depending on the state of a substrate,
it may result in the case where the latch time may become longer or the operation may not be latched. Please locate an
input capacitor as close as possible.

■OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION (Continued)
<Thermal Shutdown>
For protection against heat damage of the ICs, thermal shutdown function monitors chip temperature. The thermal
shutdown circuit starts operating and the driver transistor will be turned off when the chip’s temperature reaches 150OC.
When the temperature drops to 130OC or less after shutting of the current flow, the IC performs the soft start function to
initiate output startup operation.
<Short-Circuit Protection>
The short-circuit protection circuit monitors FB voltage. In case where output is accidentally shorted to the Ground and
when the FB voltage decreases less than half of the FB voltage, the short-circuit protection operates to turn off and to
latch the driver transistor. In latch mode, the operation can be resumed by either turning the IC off and on via the CE pin,
or by restoring power supply to the VIN pin.
<Voltage Detector>
The detector block of the XC9223/9224 series detects a signal inputted from the VDIN pin by the VDOUT pin (N-ch
open-drain).
<U.V.L.O. Circuit>
When the VIN pin voltage becomes 1.8V (TYP.) or lower, the driver transistor is forced OFF to prevent false pulse output
caused by unstable operation of the internal circuitry. When the VIN pin voltage becomes 2.0V (TYP.) or higher, switching
operation takes place. By releasing the U.V.L.O. function, the IC performs the soft-start function to initiate output startup
operation. The U.V.L.O. function operates even when the VIN pin voltage falls below the U.V.L.O. operating voltage for

<MODE/SYNC>
A MODE/SYNC pin has two functions, a MODE switch and an input of external clock signal. The MODE/SYNC pin
operates as the PWM mode when applying high level of direct current and the PFM/PWM automatic switching mode by
applying low level of direct current, which is the same function as the normal MODE pin. By applying the external clock
signal (±25% of the internal clock signal, ON duty 25% to 75%), the MODE/SYNC pin switches to the internal clock signal.
Also the circuit will synchronize with the falling edge of external clock signal. While synchronizing with the external clock
signal, the MODE/SYNC pin becomes the PWM mode automatically. If the MODE/SYNC pin holds high or low level of the
external clock signal for several μs, the MODE/SYNC pin stops synchronizing with the external clock and switches to the
internal clock operation. (Refer to the chart below.)

■OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION (Continued)
<PFM Switch Current>
In PFM control operation, until coil current reaches to a specified level (IPFM), the IC keeps the P-ch MOSFET on.
time that the P-ch MOSFET is kept on (TON) can be given by the following formula.
→IPFM①
TON= L×IPFM (VIN−VOUT)
In this case,
<Maximum IPFM Limit>
In PFM control operation, the maximum duty cycle (MAXPFM) is set to 50% (TYP.). Therefore, under the condition that the
duty increases (e.g. the condition that the step-down ratio is small), it’s possible for P-ch MOSFET to be turned off even when
coil current doesn’t reach to IPFM.

■NOTES ON USE
1. The XC9223/XC9224 series is designed for use with ceramic output capacitors. If, however, the potential difference
between dropout voltage, a ceramic capacitor may fail to absorb the resulting high switching energy and oscillation could
occur on the output. In this case, use a larger capacitor etc. to compensate for insufficient capacitance.
2. Spike noise and ripple voltage arise in a switching regulator as with a DC/DC converter. These are greatly influenced by
external component selection, such as the coil inductance, capacitance values, and board layout of external components.
Once the design has been completed, verification with actual components should be done.
3. In PWM control, very narrow pulses will be outputted, and there is the possibility that some cycles may be skipped
completely. This may happens while synchronizing with an external clock.
4. When the difference between VIN and VOUT is small, and the load current is heavy, very wide pulses will be outputted and
there is the possibility that some cycles may be skipped completely.
5. With the IC, the peak current of the coil is controlled by the current limit circuit. Since the peak current increases when
dropout voltage or load current is high, current limit starts operating, and this can lead to instability. When peak current
becomes high, please adjust the coil inductance value and fully check the circuit operation. In addition, please calculate
the peak current according to the following formula:
Ipk = (VIN - VOUT) x OnDuty / (2 x L x FOSC) + IDOUT
L: Coil Inductance Value
FOSC: Oscillation Frequency
6. When the peak current, which exceeds limit current, flows within the specified time, the built-in P-ch driver transistor is
turned off (an integral latch circuit). During the time until it detects limit current and before the built-in transistor can be
turned off, the current for limit current flows; therefore, care must be taken when selecting the rating for the coil.
7. The voltage drops because of ON resistance of a driver transistor or in-series resistance of a coil. For this, the current
limit may not be attained to the limit current value, when input voltage is low.
8. Malfunction may occur in the U.V.L.O. circuit because of the noise when pulling current at the minimum operation voltage.
9. This IC and the external components should be used within the stated absolute maximum ratings in order to prevent
damage to the device.
10. Depending on the state of the PC Board, latch time may become longer and latch operation may not work. The board
should be laid out so that capacitors are placed as close to the chip as possible.
11. In heavy load, the noise of DC/DC may influence and the delay time of the voltage detector may be prolonged.
12. Output voltage may become unstable when synchronizing high internal frequency with the external clock.
In such a case, please use a larger output capacitor etc. to compensate for insufficient capacitance.
13. When a voltage lower than minimum operating voltage is applied, the output voltage may fall before reaching the over
current limit.
14. When the IC is used in high temperature, output voltage may increase up to input voltage level at light load (less than 100
μA) because of the leak current of the driver transistor.
15. The current limit is set to LIM=H: 2000mA (MAX.). However, the current of 2000mA or more may flow. In case that the
current limit functions while the VOUT pin is shorted to the GND pin, when P-ch MOSFET is ON, the potential difference
for input voltage will occur at both ends of a coil. For this, the time rate of coil current becomes large. By contrast,
when N-ch MOSFET is ON, there is almost no potential difference at both ends of the coil since the VOUT pin is shorted to
the GND pin. Consequently, the time rate of coil current becomes quite small. According to the repetition of this
operation, and the delay time of the circuit, coil current will be converged on a certain current value, exceeding the
amount of current, which is supposed to be limited originally. The short protection does not operate during the soft-start
time. The short protection starts to operate and the circuit will be disabled after the soft-start time. Current larger than
over current limit may flow because of a delay time of the IC when step-down ratio is large. A coil should be used within
the stated absolute maximum rating in order to prevent damage to the device.
①Current flows into P-ch MOSFET to reach the current limit (ILIM).
②The current of ILIM (2000mA, MAX.) or more flows since the delay time of the circuit occurs during from the detection of
the current limit to OFF of P-ch MOSFET.
③Because of no potential difference at both ends of the coil, the time rate of coil current becomes quite small.
④Lx oscillates very narrow pulses by the current limit for several msec.
⑤The short protection operates, stopping its operation.

■INSTRUCTION ON PATTERN LAYOUT
1. In order to stabilize VIN’s voltage level, we recommend that a by-pass capacitor (CIN) be connected as close as
possible to the VIN & VSS pins.
2. Please mount each external component, especially CIN, as close to the IC as possible.
3. Wire external components as close to the IC as possible and use thick, short connecting traces to reduce the circuit
impedance.
4. Make sure that the PCB GND traces are as thick as possible, as variations in ground potential caused by high
ground currents at the time of switching may result in instability of the IC.
5. Unstable operation may occur at the heavy load because of a spike noise. 2200pF ~0.1μF of a capacitor, CDD, is
recommended to use between the AGND pin and the VIN pin for reducing noise.
