Description The LXDC2UR series is a low power step-down DC-DC 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 high performance LDO replacement. Its low noise feature and easy to assembly feature assures reliable power supply quality. The device works in PFM mode at light load and it extends the battery life by reducing quiescent current. At heavy load, its control mode changes to PWM mode automatically and it keeps high efficiency using synchronous rectifying technology. If only heavy load current operation is needed, PWM forced mode is available. In PWM forced mode, ripple noise is reduced. In shutdown mode, the current consumption is up to 1uA. 3.

These data are measured on Murata’s evaluation board of this device at no air-flow condition.

The amount of current de-rating is highly dependent on the environmental thermal conditions, i.e. PCB design, nearby components or effective air flows. Care should o especially be taken in applications where the device temperature exceeds 85 C. o The IC temperature of the device must be kept lower than the maximum rating of 125 C. It is generally recommended to take an appropriate de-rating to IC temperature for a reliable operation. A general de-rating for the temperature of semiconductor is 80%. MLCC capacitor’s reliability and lifetime are also depending 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. 7 February 2016 LXDC2UR series Micro DC-DC converter Capacitor B1 Life(Thousand Hours) ● LXDC2UR12A-118, LXDC2UR15A-119, LXDC2UR18A-120 Capacitor Case temperature(℃) ● LXDC2UR30A-143 8 February 2016 LXDC2UR series Micro DC-DC converter ●LXDC2UR33A-122 Capacitor B1 Life vs Capacitor Case temperature Capacitor B1 B1 Life(Thousand Hours) Capacitor Life (Tousand Hours) 100000 Vin=5V 10000 1000 100 10 1 20 40 60 80 100 120 Capacitor Case temperature(℃) Temprature (oC ) Capacitor Case 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 IC temperature should be measured on the worst condition of each application. The temperature must be o kept below 125 C. An appropriate de-rating of temperature and/or output current should be taken. 3. The MLCC temperature should be measured on the worst condition of each application. Considering the above figure, it should be checked if the expected B1 life of MLCC is acceptable or not. 9 February 2016 LXDC2UR series Micro DC-DC converter 7. Detailed Description Mode selection The MODE pin allows selecting the operating mode. If the MODE pin is pulled to logic low voltage (VMODL), the converter operates automatic PFM and PWM mode. In this mode, the converter operates PFM mode at light load current, and when the load current increase, the operating mode will change 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 70-150mA If the MODE pin is pulled to logic high voltage (VMODH), the device operates in PWM forced 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. PFM 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 (2.05Vtyp) 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 120 μsec. 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 left floating. Pulling the EN pin to logic low forces the device shutdown. The shutdown quiescent current is 0.1 μA (typ). Discharge Function LXDC2UR series can actively discharge the internal output capacitor (Cout) when it turns off. The discharge time depends on external output capacitance. LXDC2UR series do not need external capacitors, but if you use external output capacitor its discharge time will become longer. Over Current Protection LXDC2UR series integrates a current limit function to protect internal components against heavy load or short circuits. When over current event is removed, the device returns to the normal operation automatically. Thermal Shutdown o As soon as the internal IC’s junction temperature exceeds 140 C (typ), the device goes into thermal shutdown. The device returns to its normal operation when the Internal IC’s junction temperature again falls below o 130 C(typ). 10 February 2016 LXDC2UR series Micro DC-DC converter 8.
