Description The LXDC3EP series is a 1A output step-down DCDC converter, which is suitable for a space-limited or a noise-sensitive application. The device utilizes an inductor-embedded ferrite substrate, and the substrate eliminates radiated EMI noise and conduction noise efficiently. By just putting this device, it can be used as a LDO replacement. Its low noise feature and easy to assembly feature assures reliable power supply quality. The LXDC3EP series has a mode pin that allows the user to select Forced PWM mode or Power-Save mode that changes modes between pulse-skip operation and forced PWM operation automatically depending on the load. In Power-Save mode, LXDC3EP series offers superior efficiency under light load condition, and it extends the battery life. When Forced PWM mode is selected, it works at fixed frequency (4MHz) over all load range. The advantages of this mode are easy filtering of switching frequency and better load transient response. The integrated over current protection and the thermal shutdown protection features offer a reliable power supply operation. 3.

A general de-rating for the temperature of semiconductor is 80%. MLCC capacitor’s reliability and the lifetime is also dependant on temperature and applied voltage stress. Higher temperature and/or higher voltage cause shorter lifetime of MLCC, and the degradation can be described by the Arrhenius model. The most critical parameter of the degradation is IR (Insulation Resistance). The below figure shows MLCC’s B1 life based on a failure rate reaching 1%. It should be noted that wear-out mechanisms in MLCC capacitor is not reversible but cumulative over time. 6 July 2015 400 LXDC3EP TypeF series Capacitor B1 Life(Thousand Hours) Micro DC-DC converter Capacitor Case temperature(℃) The following steps should be taken before the design fix of user’s set for a reliable operation. o 1. The ambient temperature of the device should be kept below 85 C 2. The case temperature should be measured on the worst condition of each application. The temperature must o be kept below 125 C. An appropriate de-rating of temperature and/or output current should be taken. 3. The MLCC temperature should be considered as same as the case temperature. Considering the above figure, it should be checked if the expected B1 life of MLCC is acceptable or not. 7 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter 7. Detailed Description Power-Save Mode / Forced PWM Mode The MODE pin allows selecting the operating mode. If the MODE pin is pulled to logic low voltage (MODE-L), the converter operates automatic pulse-skip and PWM mode. In this mode, the converter operates pulse-skip mode at light load current, and when the load current increases, the operating mode will changes to PWM mode automatically. In this mode, the converter can work in high efficiency over wide load current range. The transition current between PFM and PWM is depend on Vin, Vout and other factors, but the ballpark threshold is about 50-200mA If the MODE pin is pulled to logic high voltage (MODE-H), the device operates in Forced PWM mode. In this mode, the converter operates in PWM mode even at light load current. The advantage of this mode is that the converter operates with a fixed frequency that allows simple filtering of switching frequency. In this mode, the efficiency is lower compared to the PFM mode at light load current. Power-Save mode at light load PWM mode at heavy load Nominal output voltage UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) The input voltage (Vin) must reach or exceed the UVLO voltage (2.2Vtyp) before the device begins the start up sequence even when EN pin is kept high. UVLO function keeps away of an unstable operation at low Vin range Soft Start The device has an internal soft-start function that limits the inrush current during start-up. The soft-start system progressively increases the switching on-time from a minimum pulse-width to that of normal operation. Because of the function, the output voltage increases gradually from zero to nominal voltage at start-up event. The nominal soft-start time is 170usec. Enable The device starts operation when EN is set high and starts up with soft start. For proper operation, the EN pin must be terminated to logic high and must not be left floating. Pulling the EN pin to logic low forces the device shutdown. Over Current Protection When the output current reaches the OCP threshold, the device narrows the switching duty and decrease the output voltage. When the current goes below the threshold, the converter returns to normal operation automatically. Thermal Shutdown The device has a thermal overload protection function. When the internal IC’s junction temperature exceeds o around 150 C, the device goes into thermal shutdown. The device returns to its normal operation when the o Internal IC’s junction temperature falls below 130 C (typ). For reliable operation, the IC temperature should be o kept below 125 C. Prolonged thermal overload condition may damage the device 8 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter 8.

When it is toggled to “ON” side, the device starts operation. 2. When it is toggled to “OFF” side, the device stop operation and keep shut down status. 3. When it is set to middle of “ON” and “OFF”, the EN pin becomes floated and can be applied an external voltage through the EN terminal pin on the EVB. If you don’t apply external voltage to EN pin, the enable switch should not to be set to the middle position. The mode switch has three states (PWM, PFM/PWM and Open). 1. When it is shorted to “PWM” side, the device operates PWM forced mode. 2. When it is shorted to “PFM/PWM” side, the device operates PFM/PWM automatic mode. 3. When it is set to open, the mode pin becomes floated and can be applied an external voltage through the Mode terminal pin on the EVB. If you don’t apply external voltage to Mode pin, the mode switch should not to be set to the middle position. ※The 47uF capacitor is for the evaluation kit only, and has been added to compensate for the long test cables. 10 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter Typical Measurement Data (reference purpose only) (Ta=25℃) Efficiency Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.2V 100 100 90 90 80 80 70 70 EFF [%] EFF [%] Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.0V 60 60 50 50 40 40 30 30 1 10 100 1,000 1 10 Iout [mA] 1,000 100 1,000 100 1,000 Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.8V 100 100 90 90 80 80 70 70 EFF [%] EFF [%] Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.5V 60 60 50 50 40 40 30 30 1 10 100 1,000 1 10 Iout [mA] Iout [mA] Vin=3.7V, Vout=2.5V Vin=5.0V, Vout=3.3V 100 100 90 90 80 80 70 70 EFF [%] EFF [%] 100 Iout [mA] 60 60 50 50 40 40 30 30 1 10 100 1 1,000 10 Iout [mA] Iout [mA] 11 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter Road Requlation Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.2V 1.02 1.224 1.01 1.212 Vout [V] Vout [V] Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.0V 1 0.99 1.2 1.188 0.98 1.176 0 100 200 300 400 500 0 600 100 200 Iout [mA] 400 500 600 400 500 600 400 500 600 Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.8V 1.53 1.836 1.515 1.818 Vout [V] Vout [V] Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.5V 1.5 1.485 1.8 1.782 1.47 1.764 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 0 100 200 Iout [mA] 300 Iout [mA] Vin=3.7V, Vout=2.5V Vin=5.0V, Vout=3.3V 2.55 3.366 2.525 3.333 Vout [V] Vout [V] 300 Iout [mA] 2.5 2.475 3.3 3.267 2.45 3.234 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 0 Iout [mA] 100 200 300 Iout [mA] 12 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter Output Ripple-Noise Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.2V 60 60 50 50 40 40 Vrpl [mVpp] Vrpl [mVpp] Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.0V 30 20 10 30 20 10 0 0 0 200 400 600 800 1000 0 200 400 Iout [mA] 800 1000 Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.8V 60 60 50 50 40 40 Vrpl [mVpp] Vrpl [mVpp] Vin=3.7V, Vout=1.5V 30 20 10 30 20 10 0 0 0 200 400 600 800 1000 0 200 400 Iout [mA] 600 800 1000 800 1000 Iout [mA] Vin=3.7V, Vout=2.5V Vin=5.0V, Vout=3.3V 60 60 50 50 40 40 Vrpl [mVpp] Vrpl [mVpp] 600 Iout [mA] 30 20 10 30 20 10 0 0 0 200 400 600 800 1000 0 Iout [mA] 200 400 600 Iout [mA] 13 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter Typical Measurement Data (reference purpose only) Load Transient Response ・Vin=2.3V,Vout=1.2V Vin=3.7V,Vout=1.2V 14 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter Vin=5.5V,Vout=1.2V Vin=5.0V,Vout=3.3V 15 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter Vin=5.5V,Vout=3.3V 16 July 2015 LXDC3EP TypeF series Micro DC-DC converter 10.Reliability Tests No. 1 2 3 Items Vibration Resistance Result (NG) 18 G (0) Frequency : 10~2000 Hz 2 Acceleration : 196 m/s Direction : X,Y,Z 3 axis Period : 2 h on each direction Total 6 h.
