Monolithic 600mA Step-Down Regulator
with Low Quiescent Current
The EL7530 is a synchronous, integrated FET 600mA stepdown regulator with internal compensation. It operates with
an input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, 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.
The EL7530 features automatic PFM/PWM mode control, or
PWM mode only. The PWM frequency is typically 1.4MHz
and can be synchronized up to 12MHz. The typical no load
quiescent current is only 120µA. Additional features include
a Power-Good output, <1µA shut-down current, short-circuit
protection, and over-temperature protection.

Applications Information
Product Description
The EL7530 is a synchronous, integrated FET 600mA stepdown regulator which operates from an input of 2.5V to 5.5V.
The output voltage is user-adjustable with a pair of external
resistors.
When the load is very light, the regulator automatically
operates in the PFM mode, thus achieving high efficiency at
light load (>70% for 1mA load). When the load increases,
the regulator automatically switches over to a voltage-mode
PWM operating at nominal 1.4MHz switching frequency. The
efficiency is up to 95%.
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 and
inductor is 1.5µH to 2.2µH.
Forced PWM Mode/SYNC Input
It can also operate in a fixed PWM mode or be synchronized
to an external clock up to 12MHz for improved EMI
performance.
Pulling the SYNC pin HI (>2.5V) forces the converter into
PWM mode in the next switching cycle regardless of output
current. The duration of the transition varies depending on
the output current. Figures 22 and 23 (under two different
loading conditions) show the device goes from PFM to PWM
mode.
PFM Operation
Start-Up and Shut-Down
The heart of the EL7530 regulator is the automatic
PFM/PWM controller.
When the EN pin is tied to VIN, and VIN reaches
approximately 2.4V, the regulator begins to switch. The
inductor current limit is gradually increased to ensure proper
soft-start operation.
If the SYNC pin is connected to ground, the regulator
operates automatically in either the PFM or PWM mode,
depending on load. When the SYNC pin is connected to VIN,
the regulator operates in the fixed PWM mode. When the pin
is connected to an external clock ranging from 1.6MHz to
12MHz, the regulator is in the fixed PWM mode and
synchronized to the external clock frequency.
In the automatic PFM/PWM operation, when the load is light,
the regulator operates in the PFM mode to achieve high
efficiency. The top P channel MOSFET is turned on first. The
inductor current increases linearly to a preset value before it
is turned off. Then the bottom N channel MOSFET turns on,
and the inductor current linearly decreases to zero current.
The N channel MOSFET is then turned off, and an antiringing MOSFET is turned on to clamp the VLX pin to VO.
The inductor current looks like triangular pulses. The
frequency of the pulses is mainly a function of output current.
The higher the load, the higher the frequency of the pulses
until the inductor current becomes continuous. At this point,
the controller automatically changes to PWM operation.
PWM Operation
The regulator operates the same way in the forced PWM or
synchronized PWM mode. In this mode, the inductor current
is always continuous and does not stay at zero.
In this 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
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
9
When the EN pin is connected to a logic low, the EL7530 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.
Current Limit and Short-Circuit Protection
The current limit is set at about 1.2A 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 EL7530 is available in a fused-lead MSOP10.
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.

Output Voltage Selection
Layout Considerations
Users can set the output voltage of the variable version with
a resister divider, which can be chosen based on the
following formula:
The layout is very important for the converter to function
properly. The following PC layout guidelines should be
followed:
R 

V O = 0.8 ×  1 + ------2-
R 1

1. Separate the Power Ground ( ) and Signal Ground
( i); connect them only at one point right at the pins
2. Place the input capacitor as close to VIN and PGND pins
as possible
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 for the inductor.
The RMS current present at the input capacitor is decided by
the following formula:
V O × ( V IN – V O )
I INRMS = ----------------------------------------------- × I O
V IN
3. Make the following PC traces as small as possible:
4. from LX pin to L
5. from CO to PGND
6. If used, connect the trace from the FB pin to R1 and R2
as close as possible
7. Maximize the copper area around the PGND pin
8. 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 EL7530 Application Brief.
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:
( V IN – V O ) × V O
∆I IL = ------------------------------------------L × V IN × f S
L is the inductance
fS the switching frequency (nominally 1.4MHz)
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 2A surge current that can occur during a current
limit condition.
