☆GreenOperationCompatible
■GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XCL221/XCL222 series is a synchronous step-down micro DC/DC converter which integrates an inductor and a
control IC in one tiny package (2.0mm×2.5mm, h=1.0mm). An internal coil simplifies the circuit and enables minimization of
noise and other operational trouble due to the circuit wiring. A wide operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V enables support
for applications that require an internally fixed output voltage (0.8V to 3.6V). The XCL221/XCL222 series uses synchronous
rectification at an operating frequency of 1.2MHz. The XCL221/XCL222 series uses HiSAT-COT (*) synchronous rectification.
HiSAT-COT+PWM control (XCL221) or HiSAT-COT+automatic PWM/PFM switching control (XCL222) can be selected.
The series have a high speed soft-start as fast as 0.25ms (TYP.) in typical for quick turn-on. With the built-in UVLO (Under
Voltage Lock Out) function, the internal P-channel driver transistor is forced OFF when input voltage becomes 1.6V or lower.
When CE=Low, the integrated CL discharge function which enables the electric charge at the output capacitor CL to be
discharged via the internal discharge switch located between the LX and PGND pins. The power consumption will be less than
1.0μA.
(*)
HiSAT-COT is an original Torex term for High Speed Transient Response.

<BLOCK DIAGRAM>
The method is HiSAT-COT (High Speed circuit Architecture for Transient with Constant On Time) control, which features on
time control method and a fast transient response that also achieves low output voltage ripple.
The on time (ton) is determined by the input voltage and output voltage, and turns on the Pch MOS driver Tr. for a fixed time.
During the off time (toff), the voltage that is fed back through R1 and R2 is compared to the reference voltage by the error amp,
and the error amp output is phase compensated and sent to the comparator. The comparator compares this signal to the
reference voltage, and if the signal is lower than the reference voltage, sets the SR latch. On time then resumes. By doing this,
PWM operation takes place with the off time controlled to the optimum duty ratio and the output voltage is stabilized. The phase
compensation circuit optimizes the frequency characteristics of the error amp, and generates a ramp wave similar to the ripple
voltage that occurs in the output to modulate the output signal of the error amp. This enables a stable feedback system to be
obtained even when a low ESR capacitor such as a ceramic capacitor is used, and a fast transient response and stabilization of
the output voltage are achieved.
<Minimum on time generation circuit>
Generates an on time that depends on the input voltage and output voltage (ton). The on time is set as given by the equations below.
ton (μs) = VOUT/VIN×0.833
<Switching frequency>
The switching frequency can be obtained from the on time (ton), which is determined by the input voltage and output voltage,
as given by the equation below.
fOSC (MHz) = VOUT(V) / (VIN(V)×ton(μs))
<100% duty cycle mode>
When the load current is heavy and the voltage difference between input voltage and output voltage is small, 100% duty cycle
mode is activated and it keeps the Pch MOS driver Tr. turning on. 100% duty cycle mode attains a high output voltage stability
and a high-speed response under all load conditions, from light to heavy, even in conditions where the dropout voltage is low.
<Error amp>
The error amp monitors the output voltage. The voltage divided by the internal R1 and R2 resistors is a feedback voltage for
Error Amp. and compared to the reference voltage. The output voltage of the error amp becomes higher when the feedback
voltage is higher than the reference voltage. The frequency characteristics of the error amp are optimized internally.

■OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION (Continued)
<Reference voltage source, soft-start function>
The reference voltage forms a reference that is used to stabilize the output voltage of the IC. After chip enable of the IC, the
reference voltage connected to the error amp increases linearly during the soft-start interval.
This allows the voltage divided by the internal R1 and R2 resistors and the reference voltage to be controlled in a balanced
manner, and the output voltage rises in proportion to the rise in the reference voltage. This operation prevents rush input current
and enables the output voltage to rise smoothly.
If the output voltage does not reach the set output voltage within the soft start time, such as when the load is heavy or a large
capacity output capacitor is connected, the balancing of the voltage divided by the internal resistors R1 and R2 and the
reference voltage is lost, however, the current restriction function activates to prevent an excessive increase of input current,
enabling a smooth rise of the output voltage.
<PWM/PFM selection circuit>
PWM control is a continuous conduction mode, and operates at a stable switching frequency by means of an on time (ton) that
is determined by the input voltage and output voltage regardless of the load.
PWM/PFM auto switching control is a discontinuous conduction mode at light loads, and lowers the switching frequency to
reduce switching loss and improve efficiency.
The XCL221 series is internally fixed to PWM control.
The XCL222 series is internally fixed to PWM/PFM auto switching control.
<CE function>
Operation starts when “H” voltage is input into the CE pin. The IC can be put in the shutdown state by inputting “L” voltage into
the CE pin. In the shutdown state, the supply current of the IC is 0μA (TYP.), and the Pch MOS driver Tr. and Nch MOS switch
Tr. for synchronous rectification turn off. The CE pin is a CMOS input and the sink current is 0μA.
<UVLO>
When the VIN voltage becomes 2.00V (TYP.) or lower, the P-ch MOS driver transistor output driver transistor is forced OFF to
prevent false pulse output caused by unstable operation of the internal circuitry. When the VIN pin voltage becomes 2.10V
(TYP.) or higher, switching operation takes place. By releasing the UVLO function, the IC performs the soft start function to
initiate output startup operation. The UVLO circuit does not cause a complete shutdown of the IC, but causes pulse output to be
suspended; therefore, the internal circuitry remains in operation.
<Thermal Shutdown>
For protection against heat damage of the ICs, thermal shutdown function monitors chip temperature. The thermal shutdown
circuit starts operating and the P-ch MOS driver and N-ch MOS driver transistor will be turned off when the chip’s temperature
reaches 150℃. When the temperature drops to 120℃ (TYP.) or less after shutting of the current flow, the IC performs the softstart function to initiate output startup operation.
<Short-circuit protection function>
The short-circuit protection circuit protects the device that is connected to this product and to the input/output in
situations such as when the output is accidentally shorted to GND. The short-circuit protection circuit monitors the output
voltage, and when the output voltage falls below the short-circuit protection threshold voltage, it turns off the Pch MOS driver Tr
and latches it. Once in the latched state, operation is resumed by turning off the IC from the CE pin and then restarting, or by reinput into the VIN pin.
<Current Limit>
The current limiter circuit of the XCL221/XCL222 series monitors the current flowing through the P-channel MOS driver
transistor connected to the Lx pin. When the driver current is greater than a specific level, the current limit function operates to
turn off the pulses from the Lx pin at any given timing. When the over current state is eliminated, the IC resumes its normal
operation.

■OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION (Continued)
<CL High Speed Discharge>
The product can quickly discharge the electric charge at the output capacitor (CL) when a low signal to the CE pin which
enables a whole IC circuit put into OFF state, is inputted via the N-ch MOS switch transistor located between the VOUT pin and
the GND pin. When the IC is disabled, electric charge at the output capacitor (CL) is quickly discharged so that it may avoid
application malfunction.

■NOTE ON USE
1. For the phenomenon of temporal and transitional voltage decrease or voltage increase, the IC may be damaged or
deteriorated if IC is used beyond the absolute MAX. specifications.
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. The DC/DC converter characteristics depend greatly on the externally connected components as well as on the
characteristics of this IC, so refer to the specifications and standard circuit examples of each component when carefully
considering which components to select. Be especially careful of the capacitor characteristics and use B characteristics (JIS
standard) or X7R, X5R (EIA standard) ceramic capacitors.
4. Sufficiently reinforce the ground wiring. In particular, reinforce near the PGND and AGND pin as fluctuations of the ground
phase due to the ground current during switching may cause the operation of the IC to become unstable.
5. Mount external components as close as possible to the IC. Keep the wiring short and thick to lower the wiring impedance.
6. A feature of HiSAT-COT control is that it controls the off time in order to control the duty, which varies due to the effects of
power loss between the input (VIN pin) and output (VOUT pin) due to the load, and thus the switching frequency fluctuates. In
addition, changes in the on time due to 100% duty cycle mode are allowed. For this reason, caution must be exercised as the
characteristics of the switching frequency will vary depending on the external component characteristics, board layout, input
voltage, output voltage, load current and other parameters.
7. Due to propagation delay inside the product, the on time generated by the minimum on time generation circuit may not be the
same as the on time that is the ratio of the input voltage to the output voltage.
8. With regard to the current limiting value, the actual coil current may at times exceed the electrical characteristics due to
propagation delay inside the product.
9. The CE pin is a CMOS input pin. Do not use with the pin open. If connecting to the input or ground, use a resistor up to 1MΩ.
To prevent malfunctioning of the device connected to this product or the input/output due to short circuiting between pins, it is
recommended that a resistor be connected.
10. If the output voltage drops below the short circuit protection threshold voltage at the end of the soft start interval, operation will stop.
11. PWM/PFM auto switching control is a discontinuous conduction mode when the load is light, and in cases where the voltage
difference between input and output is low or the coil inductance is higher than the value indicated in the standard circuit
example, the coil current may reverse when the load is light, and thus pulse skipping will not be possible and light load
efficiency will worsen.

■NOTE ON USE (Continued)
12. When the input voltage is close to the minimum input voltage, the current limit circuit might not be able to work.
13. When the voltage difference between input voltage and output voltage is low, the load stability feature may deteriorate.
14. If the capacitance value is not sufficient by degrading CL due to the low temp. condition and DC bias feature, 100% duty
cycle might come up for the load transient condition. Add capacitance value for CL if necessary.
15. If the capacitance value is not sufficient by degrading CL due to the low temp. condition and DC bias feature, the duty cycle
might not be stable. Add capacitance value for CL if necessary.
16. Torex places an importance on improving our products and their reliability.We request that users incorporate fail-safe
designs and post-aging protection treatment when using Torex products in their systems.
17. Instructions of pattern layouts
The operation may become unstable due to noise and/or phase lag from the output current when the wire impedance is high,
please place the input capacitor(CIN) and the output capacitor (CL) as close to the IC as possible.
(1) In order to stabilize VIN voltage level, we recommend that a by-pass capacitor (CIN) be connected as close as possible to the
VIN pin, PGND pin.
(2) Please mount each external component 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 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) This series’ internal driver transistors bring on heat because of the output current and ON resistance of P-channel and Nchannel MOS driver transistors. Please consider the countermeasures against heat if necessary.
