NR120E series
Nov./10/2015
Package
eneral Descriptions
The NR120E series is buck regulator ICs integrates
High-side power MOSFET. With the current mode
control, ultra low ESR capacitors such as ceramic
capacitors can be used. The ICs have protection functions
such as Over-Current Protection (OCP), Under-Voltage
Lockout (UVLO) and Thermal Shutdown (TSD). An
adjustable Soft-Start by an external capacitor prevents the
excessive inrush current at turn-on. The ICs integrate
phase compensation circuit which reduces the number of
external components and simplifies the design of
customer application. The ON/OFF pin (EN Pin) turns
the regulator on or off and helps to achieve low power
consumption requirements. The NR120E series is
available in an 8-pin SOIC package with an exposed
thermal pad on the back side.

External Components Design Guide
(1)Diode D1
・The schottky-barrier diode must be used for D1. If other diodes like fast recovery diodes are used, IC may be
damaged because of the reverse voltage applied by the recovery voltage or ON voltage.
(2)Choke coil L1
・If the winding resistance of the choke coil is too high, the efficiency may go down to the extent that it is out of the rating.
・As the start current of the over current protection is approximately 4A, attention must be paid to the heating of the choke
coil by the magnetic saturation due to overload or short-circulated load.
(3)Capacitor C1(C2), C4(C5), C7
・As large ripple currents across C1 (C2) and C4 (C5), capacitors with high frequency and low impedance for SMPS must
be used. Especially when the impedance of C4 (C5) is high, the switching waveform may not be normal at low
temperature.
・C7 is a capacitor for soft start. A soft-start controls the over-shoot of the output voltage rising and rush current.
(4)Resistor R4, R5, R6
・R4, R5, R6 are resistor to the Output Voltage. IADJ is required to set to 0.2mA.
R4, R5, R6 are calculated by the equation (1).

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Reliability can be affected adversely by improper storage environments and handling methods. Please observe the
following cautions.
Cautions for Storage
 Ensure that storage conditions comply with the standard temperature (5 to 35°C) and the standard relative humidity
(around 40 to 75%); avoid storage locations that experience extreme changes in temperature or humidity.
 Avoid locations where dust or harmful gases are present and avoid direct sunlight.
 Reinspect for rust on leads and solderability of products that have been stored for a long time.
Cautions for Testing and Handling
 When tests are carried out during inspection testing and other standard test periods, protect the products from power
surges from the testing products, shorts between the product pins, and wrong connections. In addition, avoid tests
exceeded ratings
Soldering
When soldering the products, please be sure to minimize the working time, within the following limits.
・Reflow Preheat ; 180°C / 90±30s
Heat ; 250°C / 10±1s (260°C peak ,2times)
・Soldering iron ; 380±10°C / 3.5±0.5s (1time)
Electrostatic Discharge
 When handling the products, the operator must be grounded. Grounded wrist straps worn should have at least 1MΩ of
resistance from the operator to ground to prevent shock hazard, and it should be placed near the operator.
 Workbenches where the products are handled should be grounded and be provided with conductive table and floor mats.
 When using measuring equipment such as a curve tracer, the equipment should be grounded.
 When soldering the products, the head of a soldering irons or the solder bath must be grounded in order to prevent leak
voltages generated by them from being applied to the products.
 The products should always be stored and transported in Sanken shipping containers or conductive containers, or be
wrapped in aluminum foil.

IMPORTANTS NOTES
 The contents in this document are subject to changes, for improvement and other purposes, without notice.
Make sure that this is the latest revision of the document before use.
 Application and operation examples described in this document are quoted for the sole purpose of reference for
the use of the products herein and Sanken can assume no responsibility for any infringement of industrial
property rights, intellectual property rights or any other rights of Sanken or any third party which may result
from its use.
 Although Sanken undertakes to enhance the quality and reliability of its products, the occurrence of failure and
defect of semiconductor products at a certain rate is inevitable. Users of Sanken products are requested to take,
at their own risk, preventative measures including safety design of the equipment or systems against any
possible injury, death, fires or damages to the society due to device failure or malfunction.
 Sanken products listed in this document are designed and intended for the use as components in general purpose
electronic equipment or apparatus (home appliances, office equipment, telecommunication equipment,
measuring equipment, etc.).
When considering the use of Sanken products in the applications where higher reliability is required
(transportation equipment and its control systems, traffic signal control systems or equipment, fire/crime alarm
systems, various safety devices, etc.), please contact your nearest Sanken sales representative to discuss, prior to
the use of the products herein.
The use of Sanken products without the written consent of Sanken in the applications where extremely high
reliability is required (aerospace equipment, nuclear power control systems, life support systems, etc.) is strictly
prohibited.
 In the case that you use Sanken semiconductor products or design your products by using Sanken
semiconductor products, the reliability largely depends on the degree of derating to be made to the rated values.
Derating may be interpreted as a case that an operation range is set by derating the load from each rated value or
surge voltage or noise is considered for derating in order to assure or improve the reliability. In general, derating
factors include electric stresses such as electric voltage, electric current, electric power etc., environmental
stresses such as ambient temperature, humidity etc. and thermal stress caused due to self-heating of
semiconductor products. For these stresses, instantaneous values, maximum values and minimum values must
be taken into consideration.
In addition, it should be noted that since power devices or IC’s including power devices have large self-heating
value, the degree of derating of junction temperature affects the reliability significantly.
 When using the products specified herein by either (i) combining other products or materials therewith or (ii)
physically, chemically or otherwise processing or treating the products, please duly consider all possible risks
that may result from all such uses in advance and proceed therewith at your own responsibility.
 Anti radioactive ray design is not considered for the products listed herein.
 Sanken assumes no responsibility for any troubles, such as dropping products caused during transportation out
of Sanken’s distribution network.
 The contents in this document must not be transcribed or copied without Sanken’s written consent.
