Capacitors with low impedance for high-frequency ripple current must be used. Output Capacitor (C2 and C8). Capacitors with low impedance for high-frequency ripple current must be used. Especially when the C2 impedance is high, the switching waveform may not be normal at low temperatures. Film or tantalum capacitors for C2 may cause abnormal oscillations. Determination of DC Input Voltage. The minimum value of dc input voltage is 8 V when the output is less than 5 V, VO + 3 V when the output voltage is more than 5 V. The recommended maximum value is 50 V when the output value is more than 2.5 V, derated linearly to 30 V when the output is 1 V. Catch Diode (D1). Diode D1 must be a Schottky diode. Other diode types will result in increased forward voltage spikes, reverse current flow, increased IC power dissipation during the off period, and possible destruction of the IC. Choke Coil (L1). If the winding resistance of the choke coil is too high, the circuit efficiency will decrease. As the overcurrent protection start current is approximately 4.5 A, attention must be paid to the heating of the coil by magnetic saturation due to overload. To reduce the output ripple, the inductor may be increased at the expense of excessive board area and cost. Output Voltage Adjustable Resistors (R2 and R3). The output voltage is adjusted by R2 and R3. 500 Ω for R3 is recommended.

Soft-Start Capcitor (C4). Soft start is enabled by connecting a capacitor between terminal 4 and ground. The device may be turned off (chip enable) by decreasing the terminal 4 voltage below 0.5 V with either an npn smallsignal transistor or the output of open-collector TTL. If both a large soft-start capacitor and chip on/off control are desired, collector current limiting must be used to prevent transistor damage. No external voltage can be applied to terminal 4. Overcurrent Protection. The SPI-8000A series has a built-in fold-back type overcurrent protection circuit, which limits the output current at a start-up mode. It thus cannot be used in applications that require current at the start-up mode such as: (1) constant-current load, (2) power supply with positive and negative outputs to common load (a center-tap type power supply), or (3) raising the output voltage by putting a diode or a resistor between the device ground and system ground. Parallel Operation. Parallel operation to increase load current is not permitted. Thermal Protection. Circuitry turns off the device when the junction temperature rises above 170°C. It is intended only to protect the device from failures due to excessive junction temperatures and should not imply that output short circuits or continuous overloads are permitted. Layout Guideline Heat Radiation and Reliability. The reliability of the IC is directly related to the junction temperature (TJ) in its operation. Accordingly, careful consideration should be given to heat dissipation. The inner frame on which the integrated circuit is mounted is connected to the exposed pad. Therefore, it is very effective for heat radiation to enlarge the copper area that is connected to the pad. The graph on page 2 illustrates the effect of the copper area on the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA). The junction temperature (TJ) can be determined from either of the following equations: TJ = (PDRθJA) + TA or TJ = (PDRθJL) + TL where PD = VIII – VOIO – VFIO(1 – [VO/VI]), VF = the Schottky diode forward voltage, and RθJL = 18°C/W. 6 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 15036 Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 ih ng rs tc lato i Sw egu R SPI-8010A 3 A, DC/DC Step-Down Converter Dimensions in Millimeters Lead Temperature (TL) Measured at Terminal 3 View A Recommended Land Pattern Product Weight: Approx. 0.859 g www.allegromicro.com 7 ih ng rs tc lato i Sw egu R SPI-8010A 3 A, DC/DC Step-Down Converter Tape and Reel Dimensions in Millimeters 8 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 15036 Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 ih ng rs tc lato i Sw egu R SPI-8010A 3 A, DC/DC Step-Down Converter Inner Box Outer Box The products described herein are manufactured in Japan by Sanken Electric Co., Ltd. for sale by Allegro MicroSystems, Inc.
