In the SI-8008TMX, terminal 5 corresponds with Vc terminal. The regulator is turned on and off by the
voltage applied to Vc terminal (Active Hi). The regulator is turned off when the Vc terminal is open.
Resistors R1, R2
R1 and R2 are a resistor for setting the output voltage. The output voltage should be set in a way that IADJ
may be 1mA or so (approx. ±20% is recommended, but there is no restriction toward a larger value.)

3. Operational Description
● 3-1 PWM Output Voltage Control
In the SI-8000 series, the output voltage is controlled by the PWM system and the IC integrates the PWM
comparator, oscillator, error amplifier, reference voltage, output transistor drive circuit etc. The triangular
wave output (≈ 300KHz) from the oscillator and the output of the error amplifier are given to the input of
the PWM comparator. The PWM comparator compares the oscillator output with the error amplifier output
to turn on the switching transistor for a time period when the output of the error amplifier exceeds the
oscillator output.

Output
On the assumption that the output voltage attempts to rise, the output of the error amplifier is lowered,
because the error amplifier is of inverting type. As the output of the error amplifier is lowered, the time
period where it falls below the triangular wave level of the oscillator is increased to shorten the ON time of
the switching transistor and as a result, the output voltage is maintained constant. As described above, the
output voltage is controlled by varying the ON time of the switching transistor with the fixed switching
frequency (the higher is VIN, the shorter is the ON time of the switching transistor.) The rectangular wave
output of the switching transistor is smoothed by the LC low pass filter composed of a choke coil and a
capacitor to supply stabilized DC voltage to the load.

SI-8000TM/TMX/TFE Series
● 3-2 Input / Output Current and Choke Coil Current
The rectangular output which is generated by the switching transistor of the SI-8000T is converted into DC
output voltage by being smoothed by the LC filter composed of a choke coil and an output capacitor. The
operation of this LC filter significantly affects the stable operation of the chopper type regulator. The
relation between the choke coil and the current and the relation between the current and the ripple voltage
are shown below.
Emitter Voltage
(Switching Output)
switching
The current IL flowing across the choke coil is of triangular wave shape. This triangular wave is composed
of two kinds of current components, Itr and Idi. The current Itr is supplied from the input side through the
transistor when the transistor is ON and its average value is input current Iin. The current Idi is the current
that the energy stored in the choke coil is commutated via the flywheel diode Di when the transistor is OFF.
The total of Itr and Idi is the current IL of choke coil. In addition, the average value of IL is the DC output
current Io since the triangular wave component superimposed on the IL is smoothed by charging and
discharging of the capacitor C.

● 3-3 Overcurrent Protection / Thermal Shutdown
3-3-1 Output Voltage Characteristics in Overcurrent
SI-8000T integrates a current limiting type overcurrent protection circuit. The overcurrent protection circuit
detects the peak current of a switching transistor and when the peak current exceeds the set value, the ON
time of the transistor is compulsorily shortened to limit the current by lowering the output voltage. In
addition, when the output voltage is lowered up to the 50% of the rated value, the increase of current at low
output voltage is prevented by dropping linearly the switching frequency to about70kHz. When the
overcurrent condition is released, the output voltage will be automatically restored.

3-3-2 Output Voltage Characteristics in Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown circuit detects the semiconductor junction temperature of the IC and when the
junction temperature exceeds the set value, the output transistor is stopped and the output is turned OFF.
When the junction temperature drops from the set value for overheat protection by around 15°C, the output
transistor is automatically restored.
* Note for thermal shutdown characteristic
This circuit protects the IC against overheat resulting from the instantaneous short circuit, but it should be
noted that this function does not assure the operation including reliability in the state that overheat
continues due to long time short circuit.

4. Cautions
● 4-1 External Components
4-1-1 Choke coil L
The choke coil L supplies current to the load side when the switching transistor is OFF, and plays a main
role in the chopper type switching regulator. The choke coil L1 plays a main role in the chopper type
switching regulator. In order to maintain the stable operation of the regulator, such dangerous state of
operation as saturation state and operation at high temperature due to heat generation must be avoided.
The following points should be taken into consideration for the selection of the choke coil.
a) The choke coil should be fit for the switching regulator.
The coil for a noise filter should not be used because of large loss and generated heat.
b) The inductance value should be appropriate.
The larger is the inductance of the choke coil, the less is the ripple current flowing across the choke coil,
and the output ripple voltage drops and as a result, the overall size of the coil becomes larger.
On the other hand, if the inductance is small, the peak current flowing across the switching transistor and
diode is increased to make the ripple voltage higher and this operation state is not favorable for maintaining
the stable operation.
Large Inductance
Small Inductance Large Ripple Voltage/ Current
Small Ripple Voltage/ Current
The larger is the inductance, the smaller will be
the ripple current/voltage. But the outer size of
the coil becomes larger.
The smaller is the inductance, the larger will be
the ripple current/voltage.
Although the outer size of the coil is smaller, the
operation is likely to be unstable.
The inductance value shown in the specifications
should be considered as a reference value for the stable operation and the appropriate inductance value can
be obtained by the following equation.
ΔIL shows the ripple current value of the choke coil. And the lower limit of inductance is set as described
in the following.
-
In the case that the output current to be used is nearly equal to the maximum rating (1.5A) of the
SI-8000TM: output current × 0.2 - 0.3
-
In the case that the output current to be used is approximately 0.5A or less: output current × 0.5 - 0.6

L

≒ 42μH
0.3  20  300  103
As shown above, the coil of about 47μH may be selected.
c) The rated current shall be met.
The rated current of the choke coil must be higher than the maximum load current to be used. When the
load current exceeds the rated current of the coil, the inductance is sharply decreased to the extent that it
causes saturation state at last. Please note that overcurrent may flow since the high frequency impedance
becomes low.
d) Noise shall be low.
In the open magnetic circuit core which is of drum shape, since magnetic flux passes outside the coil, the
peripheral circuit may be damaged by noise. It is recommended to use the toroidal type, EI type or EE type
coil which has a closed magnetic circuit type core as much as possible.
4-1-2 Input CapacitorC1
The input capacitor is operated as a bypass capacitor of the input circuit to supply steep current to the
regulator during switching and to compensate the voltage drop of the input side. Therefore, the input
capacitor should be placed as close as to the regulator IC.
In addition, in the case that the smoothing capacitor of the AC rectifier circuit is located in the input circuit,
the input capacitor may be also used as a smoothing capacitor, but similar attention should be paid.
The selection of C1 shall be made in consideration of the following points:
a) The requirement of withstand voltage shall be met.
b) The requirement of the allowable ripple voltage shall be met.
Current Flow of C1
Current Waveform of C1
Ripple Current
The ripple current of the input capacitor is increased in accordance with the increase of the load
current.
14
SI-8000TM/TMX/TFE Series
If the withstanding voltages or allowable ripple voltages are exceeded or used without derating, it is in
danger of causing not only the decreasing the capacitor lifetime (burst, capacitance decrease, equivalent
impedance increase, etc) but also the abnormal oscillations of regulator.
Therefore, the selection with sufficient margin is needed.
The effective value of ripple current flowing across the input capacitor can be obtained by the following
equation:
Irms  1.2 
Vo
 Io
VIN
--(2)
For instance, where Io=1.5A, VIN=20V, Vo=5V,
Irms  1.2 
5
 1.5  0.45 A
20
Therefore, it is necessary to select the capacitor with the allowable ripple current of 0.45A or higher.
4-1-3 Output Capacitor C2
The output capacitor C2 composes a LC low pass filter together with a choke coil L and functions as a
rectifying capacitor of switching output.
The current equivalent to the pulse current ΔIL of the choke coil current is charged and discharged in the
output capacitor.
Therefore, it is necessary to meet the requirements of withstand voltage and allowable ripple current with
sufficient margin like the input capacitor. Additional points to be checked are DC equivalent series
resistance (ESR) and capacitance.
The following points should be taken into consideration.
Current Flow of C2
Current Waveform of C2
Ripple Current
The ripple current of the output capacitor is equal to the ripple current of the choke coil and does
not vary even if the load current increases or decreases.
Allowable Ripple Current
The ripple current effective value of the output capacitor is obtained by the equation
Irms 
IL
2 3

15
SI-8000TM/TMX/TFE Series
When ΔIL = 0.5A,
Irms 
0.5
≒ 014
. A
2 3
Therefore a capacitor having the allowable ripple current of 0.14A or higher is required.
DC equivalent series resistance (ESR)
It is necessary for the stable operation to select the ESR properly. When the ESR is too large or too small,
abnormal oscillation due to increase of ripple voltage or insufficient phase margin occurs respectively.
The output ripple voltage is determined by a product of the pulse current ΔIL (=C2 discharge and charge
current) of the choke coil current and the ESR, and the output ripple voltage which is 0.5 % - 1% of the
output voltage (for example, where 0.5% at Vo = 5V, 25mV) is good for the stable operation. Please refer
to the equations (4) and (5) to obtain the output ripple voltage. It should be noted that the ESR is
changeable subject to temperature and it is especially lowered at high temperature.
Vrip 
VIN  Vo Vo  ESR - - - (4)
L VIN  f
Vrip  IL  ESR - - - (5)
When the ESR is too low (approx. 10 - 20Ω or lower), the phase delay becomes larger, resulting in
abnormal oscillation. Therefore, it is not appropriate that a tantalum capacitor or a laminated ceramic
capacitor is used for the output capacitor as an independent component. However, connecting a tantalum
capacitor or a laminated ceramic capacitor in parallel with an electrolytic capacitor is effective in reducing
the output ripple voltage only when it is used at low temperature (< 0°C). In addition, in order to further
decrease the ripple voltage, as shown below, it is also effective to add one stage of the LC filter to form the
π type filter.
L2 : 20uH
SI-8000T
Co2 : 200uF
It should be noted that the operating stability is more influenced by the ESR than the capacitance as
described above if the requirements of withstand voltage and allowable ripple current are met.
With respect to the layout of the output capacitor, if it is located far from the IC, it will give same effect as
the increase of ESR due to wiring resistance etc., therefore it is recommended to place it near the IC.
4-1-4 LC Filter Constants Selection Example
Based on the above description, the calculation methods of the inductance of choke coil and the ESR are
shown below. The following values are deemed as a target and in many cases, the larger are the
inductance and capacitance of output capacitor, the more stable operation will be achieved.

4-1-5 Flywheel Diode Di
The flywheel diode Di is to discharge the energy which is stored in the choke coil at switching OFF.
For the flywheel diode, the Schottky barrier diode must be used. If a general rectifying diode or fast
recovery diode is used, the IC may be damaged by applying reverse voltage due to the recovery and ON
voltage.
● 4-2 Pattern Design Notes
4-2-1 High Current Line
Since high current flows in the bold lines in the connection diagram, the pattern should be as wide and
short as possible.
SI-8000T
4-2-2 Input / Output Capacitor
The input capacitor C1 and the output capacitor C2 should be connected to the IC as close as possible. If
the rectifying capacitor for AC rectifier circuit is on the input side, it can be used as an input capacitor.
However, if it is not close to the IC, the input capacitor should be connected in addition to the rectifying
capacitor.
17
SI-8000TM/TMX/TFE Series
Since high current is discharged and charged through the leads of input/output capacitor at high speed, the
leads should be as short as possible.
A similar care should be taken for the patterning of the capacitor.
Improper Pattern Example

4-2-3 Sensing Terminal
The output voltage sensing terminal Vos shall be connected near the output capacitor C2 as much as
possible. (Vos terminal flow-in current is approx. 1mA.)
If it is connected far from C2, it should be noted that abnormal oscillation may happen due to the low
regulation and increased switching ripple.

● 4-3 Operation Waveform Check
It can be checked by the waveform between the pin 2 and 3 (SW waveform) of the SI-8000TM whether the
switching operation is normal or not.
The examples of waveforms at normal and abnormal operations are shown below:
1. Normal Operation (continuous area)
2. Normal Operation (discontinuous area)
3. When C1 is distant from IC
4. When C2 is distant from IC
The continuous area is an area where the DC component of the triangular wave is superimposed on the
current flowing across the choke coil and the discontinuous area is an area where the current flowing across
the choke coil is intermittent (a period of zero current may happen.) because the current flowing across the
choke coil is low.
Therefore, when the load current is high, the area is a continuous area and when the same current is low,
the area is a discontinuous area.
In the continuous area, the switching waveform is formed in the normal rectangular waveform (waveform
1) and in the discontinuous area, damped oscillation is caused in the switching waveform (waveform 2), but
this is a normal operation without any problem.
In the meantime, when the IC is far from C1 and C2, jitter which disturbs the ON – OFF time of switching
will happen, as shown in the waveforms (3, 4). As described above, C1 and C2 should be connected close
to the IC.

● 4-4 Thermal Design
4-4-1 Calculation of Heat Dissipation
The heat dissipation of the surface mounting IC depends on size and quality of material of printed wiring
board and area of copper foil. Full attention should be paid to the heat dissipation and ample margin should
be taken in thermal design. In order to improve heat dissipation effect, it is recommended to enlarge the
copper foil area. Large copper foil area will contribute to the efficient heat dissipation.
The TjMAX is an inherent value for each product, therefore it must be strictly observed.
For this purpose, it is required to design the heat sink in compliance with PdMAX, TaMAX (board heat
resistance).
The heat derating graphically describes this relation.
The designing of the heat sink is carried out by the following procedure:
1) The maximum ambient temperature Ta MAX in the set is obtained.
2) The maximum power dissipation PdMAX is obtained.

The derating of 10 - 20% or more is generally used. In reality, the effect of heat dissipation varies
significantly due to different mounting methods.
Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the case temperature in the mounted state.

5. Applications
● 5-1 Output ON / OFF Control
The output ON-Off control is possible using the terminal 5 of SI-8000TM/TEF. The output is turned OFF
when the terminal 5 voltage falls to a low level by such as open collector. It is possible to use the soft start
together.
Since the soft start terminal has been already pulled up, no voltage shall be applied from the external side.

● 5-2 Controllable Output Voltage
The output voltage can be increased by connecting a resistor to the Vos terminal (pin 4).
Please refer to page 8 for the output voltage setting method of a variable type SI-8008TM/TFE.
5-2-1 Variable Output Voltage by One External Resistor
The output voltage adjustment resistance Rex is obtained by the following equation.
Re x 
Vout'Vos
IVos
---(1)
Vos: Set output voltage for product
Vout: Variable output voltage
Ivos: Vos terminal in-flow current ≈ 1mA
* Since no temperature compensation is made for Rex, the temperature characteristic of output voltage is
lowered. Ivos is variable at maximum ±20% depending on each IC product. Therefore, as the variation
range of the output voltage becomes wider, the semi-fixed type resistor is required for the adjustment of
accurate output voltage.
23
SI-8000TM/TMX/TFE Series
The variation range of the output voltage including the variation of Rex, Ivos and Vos is shown as follows:
-
Maximum output voltage (Vout MAX)
Vout' MAX=VosMAX+RexMAX  IvosMAX
VosMAX: The maximum value of set output voltage. The MAX value of the set output voltage should be
put, shown in the electrical characteristics of the specifications.
RexMAX: The maximum value of Rex. It is obtained from the allowable tolerance.
IvosMAX: The maximum in-flow current of Vos terminal
-
The minimum output voltage (Vout MIN)
Vout MIN = VosMIN + RexMIN x IvosMIN
VosMIN: The minimum value of set output voltage. The MIN value of the set output voltage should be put,
shown in the electrical characteristics of the specifications.
RexMAX: The minimum value of Rex. It is obtained from the allowable tolerance of resistance.
IvosMIN: The minimum in-flow current of Vos terminal

S: Stability coefficient
The tolerance of temperature characteristics and output voltage is improved more by bypassing the current
to Rex2 than the method 5-2-1.
Stability coefficient S means the ratio of Rex 2 to the Vos terminal in-flow current Ivos. The larger is S, the
more is the variation of temperature characteristic and output voltage improved. (Normally, about 5 - 10)
The tolerance of the output voltage including variation of Rex 1, Rex 2, Ivos, Vos is shown below.

VosMIN: The minimum value of the set output voltage. Please fill in the MIN value of the set output
voltage which is shown in the electrical characteristics of the specifications.
Rex1 MIN: The minimum value of Rex1. It will be obtained from the tolerance of the resistor.
Rex2MAX: The maximum value of Rex2. It will be obtained from the tolerance of the resistor.
IvosMIN: The minimum in-flow current of Vos terminal.
5-2-3 Cautions for variation of output voltages
The degradation of regulation and the increase in the output voltage temperature coefficient are assumed
when the output voltage is varied. If it is varied drastically, the increase of coil capacitance value may be
required since the overcurrent protection current is assumed to be lowered due to the increase in coil
current. Therefore, the use within the set output voltage +5V is recommended as for the upper limit of
output voltage variation. In addition, the MAX value of the set output voltage is recommended as for the
lower limit of output voltage variation.
● 5-3 Reverse Bias Protection
A diode for reverse bias protection will be required between input and output when the output voltage is
higher than the input terminal voltage, such as in battery chargers.

It shows the destruction limits. It is required to take care so that even one item does not exceed the
specified value for a moment during instantaneous or normal operation.
-
Electrical Characteristics
It is the specified characteristic value in the operation under the conditions shown in each item. If the
operating conditions are different, it may be out of the specifications.
-
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
It is a kind of pulse modulation systems. The modulation is achieved by changing the pulse width in
accordance with the variation of modulation signal waveform (the output voltage for chopper type
switching regulator).
-
ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
