BL9341
600mA, 40V Synchronous
Step-Down Converter
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION

The BL9341 is a current mode monolithic buck
switching regulator. Operating with an input range
of 4.7V~40V, the BL9341 delivers 600mA of
continuous output current with two integrated
N-Channel MOSFETs. The internal synchronous
power switches provide high efficiency without
the use of an external Schottky diode. At light
loads, the regulator operates in low frequency to
maintain high efficiency and low output ripple.
Current mode control provides tight load transient
response and cycle-by-cycle current limit.
The BL9341 guarantees robustness with
short-circuit protection, thermal protection,
current run-away protection, and input under
voltage lockout.
The BL9341 is available in 6-pin SOT23-6
package, which provides a compact solution with
minimal external components.

The BL9341 guarantees robust performance from
-40°C to 150°C junction temperature. The junction
temperature range specification is assured by
design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls.
The BL9341 includes thermal protection that is
intended to protect the device in overload
conditions. Thermal protection is active when
junction temperature exceeds the maximum
operating junction temperature. Continuous
operation over the specified absolute maximum
operating junction temperature may damage the
device.

Description
Bootstrap pin for top switch. A 0.1uF or larger capacitor should be connected between this pin
and the SW pin to supply current to the top switch and top switch driver.

Output feedback pin. FB senses the output voltage and is regulated by the control loop to
800mV. Connect a resistive divider at FB.
Drive EN pin high to turn on the regulator and low to turn off the regulator.
Input voltage pin. VIN supplies power to the IC. Connect a 4.7V to 40V supply to VIN and
bypass VIN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC.
SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect the output LC filter from
SW to the output load.

BL9341
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The BL9341 is a synchronous, current-mode,
step-down regulator. It regulates input voltages
from 4.7V to 40V down to an output voltage as
low as 0.8V, and is capable of supplying up to
600mA of load current.
low.
Vin Under-Voltage Protection
A resistive divider can be connected between
Vin and ground, with the central tap connected
to EN, so that when Vin drops to the pre-set
value, EN drops below 1.2V to trigger input
under voltage lockout protection.
Current-Mode Control
The BL9341 utilizes current-mode control to
regulate the output voltage. The output voltage
is measured at the FB pin through a resistive
voltage divider and the error is amplified by the
internal transconductance error amplifier.
Output of the internal error amplifier is
compared with the switch current measured
internally to control the output current.
Output Current Run-Away Protection
At start-up, due to the high voltage at input and
low voltage at output, current inertia of the
output inductance can be easily built up,
resulting in a large start-up output current. A
valley current limit is designed in the BL9341 so
that only when output current drops below the
valley current limit can the top power switch be
turned on. By such control mechanism, the
output current at start-up is well controlled.
PFM Mode
The BL9341 operates in PFM mode at light load.
In PFM mode, switch frequency decreases
when load current drops to boost power
efficiency at light load by reducing switch-loss,
while switch frequency increases when load
current rises, minimizing output voltage ripples.
Output Short Protection
When output is shorted to ground, output
current rapidly reaches its peak current limit and
the top power switch is turned off. Right after the
top power switch is turned off, the bottom power
switch is turned on and stay on until the output
current falls below the valley current limit. When
output current is below the valley current limit,
the top power switch will be turned on again and
if the output short is still present, the top power
switch is turned off when the peak current limit
is reached and the bottom power switch is
turned on. This cycle goes on until the output
short is removed and the regulator comes into
normal operation again.
Shut-Down Mode
The BL9341 shuts down when voltage at EN pin
is below 1.2V. The entire regulator is off and the
supply current consumed by the BL9341 drops
below 0.1uA when voltage at EN pin is below
0.3V.
Power Switch
N-Channel MOSFET switches are integrated on
the BL9341 to down convert the input voltage to
the regulated output voltage. Since the top
MOSFET needs a gate voltage great than the
input voltage, a boost capacitor connected
between BST and SW pins is required to drive
the gate of the top switch. The boost capacitor is
charged by the internal 3.3V rail when SW is

Thermal Protection
When the temperature of the BL9341 rises
above 135°C, it is forced into thermal shut-down.
Only when core temperature drops below 120°C

can the regulator becomes active again.
2. Put the feedback trace as far away from the
inductor and noisy power traces as possible.
PCB Layout Note
3. The ground plane on the PCB should be as
large as possible for better heat dissipation.
1. Place the input decoupling capacitor as
close to BL9341 (VIN pin and PGND) as
possible to eliminate noise at the input pin.
