General Description
UM3501 is a high-efficiency pulse-width-modulated (PWM) step-down DC-DC converter,
capable of delivering 600mA output current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V.
The target application of UM3501 is for portable electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell
Li-ion battery or from other power sources within the range such as cellular phones, PDAs and
handy-terminals. Internal synchronous rectifier with low RDS(ON) dramatically reduces conduction
loss at PWM mode. No external schottky diode is required in practical application. The UM3501
automatically turns off the synchronous rectifier while the inductor current is low and enters
discontinuous PWM mode. This can increase efficiency at light load condition.
UM3501 enter shutdown mode and consumes less than 0.1uA when EN pin is pulled low. The
operation frequency is set to 1.2MHz. This along with small SOT23-5 package and DFN6 2.0×2.0
package provides small PCB area application. Other features include lower internal reference
voltage with 2% accuracy, over temperature protection, and over current protection.

Function Description
UM3501 is a monolithic switching mode Step-Down DC-DC converter. It utilizes internal
MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency and can generate very low output voltage by using internal
reference at 0.6V. It operates at a fixed switching frequency, and uses the slope compensated
current mode architecture. This Step-Down DC-DC Converter supplies 600mA output current at
VIN =3.6V with input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V.

UM3501
Current Mode PWM Control and Current Limit
The UM3501 uses constant frequency, current mode step-down architecture. Both the main
(P-channel MOSFET) and synchronous (N-channel MOSFET) switches are internal. From the
block diagram, a comparator ICOMP is used to realize current limit protection. Lossless current
sensing converts the peak current signal to a voltage to sum in with the internal slope
compensation. This summed signal is compared to the error amplifier output to provide a peak
current control command for the PWM. The cycle−by−cycle current limit is set at 1200mA
(typical). During normal operation, the internal top power MOSFET is turned on each cycle when
the oscillator sets the RS latch, and turned off when the current comparator ICOMP, resets the RS
latch. The peak inductor current at which ICOMP resets the RS latch, is controlled by the output
of error amplifier EA. When the load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in the feedback
voltage, FB, relative to the 0.6V reference, which in turn, causes the EA amplifier’s output
voltage to increase until the average inductor current matches the new load current. While the top
MOSFET is off, the bottom MOSFET is turned on until either the inductor current starts to
reverse, as indicated by the current reversal comparator IZERO, or the beginning of the next clock
cycle.
When the output is shorted to ground, the inductor current may exceed the maximum inductor
peak current if not allowed enough time to decay. To prevent the inductor current from running
away, the bottom N-channel MOSFET is allowed to stay on for more than one cycle, thereby
allowing the inductor current time to decay.
Pulse Skipping Mode Operation
At very light loads, the UM3501 automatically enters Pulse Skipping Mode. In the Pulse Skipping
Mode, the inductor current may reach zero or reverse on each pulse. The PWM control loop will
automatically skip pulses to maintain output regulation. The bottom MOSFET is turned off by the
current reversal comparator, IZERO, and the switch voltage will ring. This is discontinuous mode
operation, and is normal behavior for the switching regulator.
Maximum Load Current
The UM3501 will operate with input supply voltage as low as 2.5V, however, the maximum load
current decreases at lower input due to large IR drop on the main switch and synchronous rectifier.
The slope compensation signal reduces the peak inductor current as a function of the duty cycle to
prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than 50%. Conversely the current limit
increases as the duty cycle decreases.
Applications Information
Output Voltage Setting
The external resistor divider sets the output voltage.The feedback resistor R2 also sets the
feedback loop bandwidth with the internal compensation capacitor.
Choose R2 around 600kΩ for optimal transient response and feedback leakage current. R1 is then

Inductor Selection
A 1µH to 10µH inductor with DC current rating at least 25% higher than the maximum load
current is recommended for most applications. For best efficiency, the inductor DC resistance
shall be<200mΩ.
For most designs, the inductance value can be derived from the following equation:
L
VOUT  (VIN  VOUT )
VIN  I L  f OSC
Where ∆IL is the inductor ripple current. Choose inductor ripple current approximately 30% of the
maximum load current, 600mA.
The maximum inductor peak current is:
I L ( MAX)  I LOAD 
I L
2
Under light load conditions below 100mA, larger inductance is recommended for improved
efficiency.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and switching noise from the
device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be less than input source
impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to the input. Ceramic capacitors
with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low ESR and small
temperature coefficients. For most applications, a 4.7µF capacitor is sufficient.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor keeps output voltage ripple small and ensures regulation loop stable. The
output capacitor impedance shall be low at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitor with X5R
or X7R dielectrics are recommended. The output ripple ∆VOUT is approximately:
VOUT 

Layout Guidance
When laying out the PC board, the following suggestions should be taken to ensure proper
operation of the UM3501.
1. The power traces, including the GND trace, the SW trace and the VIN trace should be kept
short, direct and wide to allow large current flow.
2. Connect the input capacitor C1 to the VIN pin as closely as possible to get good power filter
effect.
3. Keep the switching node, SW, away from the sensitive FB node.
4. Do not trace signal line under inductor.
