EL7535 ® Data Sheet August 16, 2005 FN7003.2 Monolithic 350mA Step-Down Regulator Features The EL7535 is a synchronous, integrated FET 350mA stepdown regulator in a MSOP10 package. The regulator is internally compensated, which makes it possible to use just five tiny external components to form a complete DC/DC converter. The regulator operates with an input voltage range from 2.5V to 6V, which accommodates supplies of 3.3V, 5V, or a Li-Ion battery source. The output can be externally set from 0.8V to VIN with a resistive divider. • Extremely small 350mA DC/DC converter The EL7535 features PWM mode control. The operating frequency is typically 1.4MHz. Additional features include <1µA shut-down current, short-circuit protection, and overtemperature protection. The EL7535 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package and is specified for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

STEADY-STATE Applications Information Product Description The EL7535 is a synchronous, integrated FET 350mA stepdown regulator which operates from an input of 2.5V to 6V. The output voltage is user-adjustable with a pair of external resistors. The internally-compensated controller makes it possible to use only two ceramic capacitors and one inductor to form a complete, very small footprint 350mA DC/DC converter. PWM Operation In the PWM mode, the P channel MOSFET and N channel MOSFET always operate complementary. When the PMOSFET is on and the NMOSFET off, the inductor current increases linearly. The input energy is transferred to the output and also stored in the inductor. When the P channel MOSFET is off and the N channel MOSFET on, the inductor 6 current decreases linearly, and energy is transferred from the inductor to the output. Hence, the average current through the inductor is the output current. Since the inductor and the output capacitor act as a low pass filter, the duty cycle ratio is approximately equal to VO divided by VIN. The output LC filter has a second order effect. To maintain the stability of the converter, the overall controller must be compensated. This is done with the fixed internally compensated error amplifier and the PWM compensator. Because the compensations are fixed, the values of input and output capacitors are 10µF to 22µF ceramic. The inductor is nominally 1.8µH, though 1.5µA to 2.2µH can be used. Start-Up and Shut-Down When the EN pin is tied to VIN, and VIN reaches approximately 2.4V, the regulator begins to switch. The FN7003.2 August 16, 2005 EL7535 output voltage is gradually increased to ensure proper softstart operation. When the EN pin is connected to a logic low, the EL7535 is in the shut-down mode. All the control circuitry and both MOSFETs are off, and VOUT falls to zero. In this mode, the total input current is less than 1µA. When the EN reaches logic HI, the regulator repeats the start-up procedure, including the soft-start function. RSI/POR Function When powering up, the open-collector Power-On-Reset output holds low for about 100ms after VO reaches the preset voltage. When the active-HI reset signal RSI is issued, POR goes to low immediately and holds for the same period of time after RSI comes back to LOW. The output voltage is unaffected. (Please refer to the timing diagram). When the function is not used, connect RSI to ground and leave open the pull-up resister R4 at POR pin. The POR output also serves as a 100ms delayed Power Good signal when the pull-up resister R4 is installed. The RSI pin needs to be directly (or indirectly through a resister R6) connected to Ground for this to function properly. Output Voltage Selection Users can set the output voltage of the converter with a resister divider, which can be chosen based on the following formula: R V O = 0.8 × 1 + ------2- R 1 The inductor must be able to handle IO for the RMS load current, and to assure that the inductor is reliable, it must handle the 1.5A surge current that can occur during a current limit condition. Current Limit and Short-Circuit Protection The current limit is set at about 1.5A for the PMOS. When a short-circuit occurs in the load, the preset current limit restricts the amount of current available to the output, which causes the output voltage to drop below the preset voltage. In the meantime, the excessive current heats up the regulator until it reaches the thermal shut-down point. Thermal Shut-Down Once the junction reaches about 145°C, the regulator shuts down. Both the P channel and the N channel MOSFETs turn off. The output voltage will drop to zero. With the output MOSFETs turned off, the regulator will soon cool down. Once the junction temperature drops to about 130°C, the regulator will restart again in the same manner as EN pin connects to logic HI. Thermal Performance The EL7535 is in a fused-lead MSOP10 package. Compared with regular MSOP10 package, the fused-lead package provides lower thermal resistance. The θJA is 100°C/W on a 4-layer board and 125°C/W on 2-layer board. Maximizing the copper area around the pins will further improve the thermal performance. Layout Considerations Component Selection Because of the fixed internal compensation, the component choice is relatively narrow. For a regulator with fixed output voltage, only two capacitors and one inductor are required. We recommend 10µF to 22µF multi-layer ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R rating for both the input and output capacitors, and 1.5µH to 2.2µH inductance for the inductor. The RMS current present at the input capacitor is decided by the following formula: V IN × ( V IN - V O ) I INRMS = ------------------------------------------------- × I O V IN This is about half of the output current IO for all the VO. This input capacitor must be able to handle this current. The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current is given as: The layout is very important for the converter to function properly. The following PC layout guidelines should be followed: • Separate the Power Ground ( ) and Signal Ground ( ); connect them only at one point right at the pins • Place the input capacitor as close to VIN and PGND pins as possible • Make the following PC traces as small as possible: - from LX pin to L - from CO to PGND • If used, connect the trace from the FB pin to R1 and R2 as close as possible • Maximize the copper area around the PGND pin • Place several via holes under the chip to additional ground plane to improve heat dissipation The demo board is a good example of layout based on this outline. Please refer to the EL7535 Application Brief.
