General Description The SI-8050HFE is a chopper type switching regulator IC which is provided with various functions required for the buck switching regulator and protection functions. The output is fixed at Vo = 5V, but the voltage may be variable only for rising-up by adding two external resistors. By using five external components, a highly efficient switching regulator can be composed. ● 1-1 Features - Compact size and large output current of 5.5 A The maximum output current of 5.5 A for the outline of TO220F class - High efficiency of 83% (VIN = 15V/IO = 3A) Heat dissipation is small due to high efficiency to allow for the downsizing of a heat sink. - Five external components The regulator can be composed of input / output capacitor, diode and coil. - Internal adjustment of output voltage and phase compensation having been done in production Troublesome adjustment of output voltage and phase compensation by means of external components is no longer required. - Reference oscillation by a built-in timing capacitor No external capacitor for setting the oscillation frequency is required. - Built-in functions for overcurrent and thermal shutdown A current limiting type protection circuit against overcurrent and overheat is built in. (automatic restoration type) - Soft start function (capable of ON/OFF output) By adding an external capacitor, it is possible to delay the rise speed of the output voltage. ON/OFF control of the output is also possible. - No insulation plate required No insulation plate is required, when it is fitted to the heat sink, because it is of full molding type. ● 1-2 Applications For on-board local power supplies, power supplies for OA equipment, stabilization of secondary output voltage of regulator and power supply for communication equipment ● 1-3 Type - Type: Semiconductor integrated circuits (monolithic IC) - Structure: Resin molding type (transfer molding) 3 SI-8050HFE 2.

Operational Description ● 3-1 PWM Output Voltage Control The SI-8050HF controls the output voltage by the PWM system and comprises PWM comparator, oscillator, error amplifier, reference voltage, output transistor drive circuit etc. For the input of the PWM comparator, the triangular wave output (≈150KHz) from the oscillator and the output of the error amplifier are given. The PWM comparator compares the oscillator output with the error amplifier output to control to turn on the switching transistor at the time when the error amplifier exceeds the error amplifier output.

On the assumption that the output voltage commences to rise, the output of the error amplifier will drop, because the error amplifier is of inverting type. As the output of the error amplifier falls down, the time period during which 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 at a certain level. As described above, the output voltage is controlled by varying the ON time of the switching transistor, while fixing the switching frequency. (The higher is Vin, the larger is the ON time of the switching transistor.)

Output Current The SI-8050HFE 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, the increase of current at low output voltage is prevented by dropping linearly the switching frequency to about 30 KHz. When the overcurrent condition is released, the output voltage will be automatically restored. Output Voltage Characteristics in Thermal Shutdown Output Voltage 出力電圧 Restoration Setting 復帰設定温度 Temperature Protection Setting Temperature 保護設定温度 Junction Temperature 接合温度 The thermal shutdown circuit detects the semiconductor junction temperature of the IC and when the junction temperature exceeds the set value (around 150°C), 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. 8 SI-8050HFE 4. Cautions ● 4-1 External Components 4-1-1 Choke coil L1 The choke coil L1 is one of the most important components 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. When the ripple voltage of the output voltage becomes too high, the operation is likely to be unstable and waveform skipping or jitter may be generated. It is recommended that the ripple voltage of the output voltage should be 1% or less of the set output voltage. The ripple voltage of the output voltage is determined as the product of ΔIL and ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor, therefore when the ESR is too large, a problem may happen. The ESR should also be taken into account as well as the selection of the output capacitor. Vout ripple = ΔIL x ESR of output capacitor Large Inductance ｲﾝﾀﾞｸﾀﾝｽ大 Small Ripple Voltage/ ﾘｯﾌﾟﾙ電圧･電流小 Current C2 The larger is the inductance, the smaller will be the ripple current/voltage. But the outer size of the coil becomes larger. Small Inductance ｲﾝﾀﾞｸﾀﾝｽ小 Large Ripple Voltage/ ﾘｯﾌﾟﾙ電圧･電流大 Current C2 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 equation (1). 9 SI-8050HFE However, it should be noted that the ripple value should also be adjusted to be appropriate. ΔIL shows the ripple current value of the choke coil. 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 (5.5A) of the SI-8050H: output current × 0. 1 or so - In the case that the output current to be used is approximately 3A or less: output current × 0.3 - 0.4 L1 (VIN VOUT ) VOUT IL VIN f －－－(1) For example, where VIN = 25V, VOUT = 5V, ΔIL = 0.5A, frequency = 150 KHz, L1 (25 5) 5 ≒ 53.3uH 0.5 25 150 103 As shown above, the coil of about 54μH may be selected. However, it is to be noted that the peak current of the switching transistor is increased depending on the calculated inductance value. Therefore, the peak current detection system is adopted for overcurrent detection and in this case, the overcurrent detection point may become lower. 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, C4 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 connected as close as to the regulator IC. Even in the case that the rectifying capacitor of the AC rectifier circuit is located in the input circuit, the input capacitor cannot play a role of the rectifying capacitor unless it is placed near the SI-8050HF. The selection of C1 shall be made in consideration of the following points: a) The requirement of withstand voltage shall be met. 10 SI-8050HFE b) The requirement of the allowable ripple voltage shall be met. Current Flow of C1 IIN Current Waveform of C1 C1電流波形 VIN 1.VIN Ripple Current ﾘｯﾌﾟﾙ電流 0 Iv Ip C1 Ton T D Ton T The ripple current of the input capacitor is increased in accordance with the increase of the load current. 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 calculated by the following equation (2): Irms 1.2 Vo Io Vin －－(2) For instance, where VIN = 20V, Io = 3A and Vo= 5V, Irms 1.2 5 3 0.9 A 20 Therefore, it is necessary to select the capacitor with the allowable ripple current of 0.9A or higher. In addition to the electrolytic capacitor C1, either a ceramic capacitor with the high frequency characteristic or a film capacitor C4 is required. For the film capacitor, 0.47μF is recommended, while 4.7μF is recommended for the ceramic capacitor in which the capacitance is likely to be lowered due to applied voltage. It is important to lay out C4 nearer to the IC than C1. 4-1-3 Output Capacitor C2 The output capacitor C2 composes a LC low pass filter together with a choke coil L1 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. 11 SI-8050HFE Current Flow of C2 IL Vout L1 ESR C2電流波形 Current Waveform of C2 Io Ripple Current ﾘｯﾌﾟﾙ電流 0 RL ⊿IL C2 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. The ripple current effective value of the output capacitor is calculated by the equation (3). Irms IL 2 3 －－－(3) 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. In addition, the output ripple voltage Vrip of the regulator is determined by a product of the pulse current ΔIL of the choke coil current (= C2 charging/discharging current) and the equivalent series resistance ESR of the output capacitor. Vrip IL C2ESR －－－(4) It is therefore necessary to select a capacitor with low equivalent series resistance ESR in order to lower the output ripple voltage. As for general electrolytic capacitors of same product series, the ESR shall be lower, for the products of higher capacitance with same withstand voltage, or with higher withstand voltage (almost proportional to larger externals) with same capacitance. C2esr 40 0.5 80m As shown above, a capacitor with the ESR of 80mΩ or lower should be selected. In addition, since the ESR varies with temperature and increases at low temperature, it is required to examine the ESR at the actual operating temperatures. It is recommended to contact capacitor manufacturers for the ESR value since it is peculiar to capacitors. However, if the ESR of the output capacitor is too low (10 - 30mΩ or lower), the phase margin within the feedback loop of the regulator will be short to make the operation unstable. 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). 12 SI-8050HFE 4-1-4 Flywheel Diode D1 The flywheel diode D1 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. In addition, since the output voltage from the SW terminal (pin 2) of the SI-8050HFE series is almost equivalent to the input voltage, the flywheel diode with the reverse withstand voltage of the input voltage or higher should be used. It is recommended not use the ferrite beads for the flywheel diode. ● 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-8050HFE 4-2-2 Input / Output Capacitor The input capacitor C1 and the output capacitor C2 should be placed 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. 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. C1,C2 Improper Pattern Example C1,C2 Proper Pattern Example 13 SI-8050HFE 4-2-3 Vos Terminal (Output Voltage Set-up) The Vos terminal is a feedback detection terminal for controlling the output voltage. It is recommended to connect it as close as possible to the output capacitor C2. When they are not close, the abnormal oscillation may be caused due to the poor regulation and increase of switching ripple. The output voltage can be variable only for rising-up by connecting the Rex1 and Rex2. Ivos o The output voltage adjustment resistance Rex 1 and 2 are calculated by the following equations: Vout'Vos S IVos Vos Re x2 (S 1) IVos Re x1 －－－（３） －－－（４） S: Stability coefficient The stability coefficient S indicates the ratio of IRex2 to the Vos terminal in-flow current Ivos. As S is increased, the variation of temperature characteristic and output voltage is improved. (normally 5 - 10) Ivos of SI-8050HFE should be deemed as 1mA + 66% - 44%. The variation range of output voltage is shown as follows, taking into account the variation of Rex1, Rex2, IVos and Vos. ● Maximum output voltage (Vout Max) Vout' MAX ＝VosMAX ＋Rex1MAX( VosMAX VosMAX ＋IvosMAX ） Rex2MIN ：The maximum value of set output voltage.

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 and C4 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 C4, jitter which disturbs the ON – OFF time of switching will happen, as shown in the waveforms (3, 4). As described above, C1 and C4 should be connected close to the IC. 16 SI-8050HFE ● 4-4 Power Supply Stability 4-4-1 Phase Margin This block diagram shows that the chopper type regulator is a negative feedback amplifier which controls the output voltage by constantly comparing with the output voltage and the reference voltage which is set in advance. Therefore, it has a negative feedback loop to control the output by detecting the variation of output voltage with the error amplifier. L1 Reference Voltage 基 準 電 圧 Control 制御部 Block 基 準 電 圧 ESR Reference Voltage -180deg Negative Feedback Loop 負帰還ﾙｰﾌﾟ Load 負荷 C2 0deg The phase within the negative feedback loop is displaced by 180° to negate the variation of the output voltage, but in the event that the phase is further delayed by 180° in the state that the amplification degree (gain) is 1 or more, the total phase delay amounts to 360° to deviate from the stable operation zone to cause abnormal oscillation. This is called Barkhausen oscillation conditions. Therefore, the oscillation conditions should not be accrued in the actual stabilized power supply. It is possible to judge whether the Barkhausen oscillation conditions are accrued or not by means of frequency and gain/phase characteristics of the negative feedback loop. The frequency-gain/phase characteristics are called Bode diagram. 1-step Differential Amplifier IN OUT 20dB 0dB 9k 1k -0deg -45deg -90deg Bode Diagram Example Gain ｹﾞｲﾝ 0.1fp Frequency 周波数 Phase 位相 fp 10fp In the Bode diagram, the frequency at which the gain is 1 (0 dB) is called gain intersection and the frequency at which the phase of feedback loop is -180° is called phase intersection. Unless the phase reaches -180° at the frequency of gain intersection, the oscillation conditions are not met. In this respect, the phase at gain intersection - (-180°) is equal to the phase at gain intersection + 180° and this value is used as a margin to -180° which is called phase margin. The more the phase margin is, the less 17 SI-8050HFE likely the abnormal oscillation is to occur against the variation of environmental conditions such as input/output conditions and temperature. Therefore, sufficient phase margin should be taken into consideration in order to maintain the stable operation.

The phase characteristics inside the regulator IC are generally determined by the delay time of the control block and the phase characteristic of the output error amplifier. Among these two factors, the phase delay due to the delay time of the control block rarely causes problems in actual use. Therefore, the phase characteristics of the error amplifier are important. With respect to the compensation of phase characteristics of the output error amplifier, there are two types of regulator ICs. One is that compensation is made in the IC in advance, while another type is that external components such as resistors and capacitors are connected to the IC for compensation. In the former case, it is only a matter of selection of the LC filter, but in the latter case, appropriate phase compensation should be made in accordance with the application of the product. 4-4-3 Phase Characteristics of LC Filter The phase margin of the chopper type regulator depends largely on the phase characteristics of the LC filter for output smoothing. The phase characteristic of the LC filter theoretically shows the characteristics of a secondary delay factor. Resonance is caused at a specific frequency due to the combination of inductance L1 of coil and of capacitance C2 of the capacitor and at frequency higher than the resonance point, the phase is delayed by 180°at a maximum. 18 SI-8050HFE The resonance frequency is expressed as shown in the equation (5): ｆLC 1 2 LC －－－(5) The phase characteristics are 0° if they are lower than the resonance frequency fLC. The phase characteristics are 180° if they are higher than the resonance frequency fLC. Accordingly, when the LC filter for output smoothing shows the theoretical phase characteristics, the phase delay reaches -180° in this filter portion and the phase margin will be zero for this regulator. However, in the actual LC filter, the phase delay of the LC filter is less than 180°because of influence of the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of capacitor. Consequently, the phase margin can be secured for the regulator because of this phase compensation effect of the equivalent series resistance (ESR). LC Filter Phase Characteristics LCﾌｨﾙﾀ位相特性 L1 0deg ESR VIN Phase Delay 位相遅れ VOUT C2 ESR High 大 ESR: ESR: ESR Low 小 -180deg ESR 00 ESR: fLC 周波数 Frequency Generally speaking, when such capacitors as tantalum capacitors or laminated capacitors are used for the output LC filter, the phase delay of filters will be large. Therefore, from the view point of securing the phase margin, use of the electrolytic capacitor is preferable. 4-4-4 Relation of phase characteristic of regulator IC and that of LC filter As described above, the phase characteristics of the chopper type regulator is almost determined by the phase characteristics of the error amplifier and LC filter. In this respect, the relation between these two characteristics is important. When the gain lowering commencement frequency of the error amplifier, namely the first pole frequency fp and the resonant frequency of the LC filter fLC are closer, the phase margin of the regulator is decreased because of concentrated phase delay. In this respect, the proper distribution of fp and fLC is important. Normally, the phase delay of error amplifier commences from 0.1 times of the first pole frequency fp. In order to avoid the concentration of phase delay, the resonant frequency of the LC filter fLC should be kept to be less than 0.1 times of the first pole frequency fp of the error amplifier. 19 SI-8050HFE Phase 位相 Phase Characteristics: Phase Characteristics: fpとfLCが近い場合の位相特性 when fp and fLC are close Phase 位相 fpとf LCが離れている場合の位相特性 when fp and fLC are distant fp fp 増幅部 Amplification Section Amplification 増幅部 Section LC Filter LCﾌｨﾙﾀ LC Filter LCﾌｨﾙﾀ fLC -180deg fLC -180deg Synthesized Characteristics 合成特性 Long位相遅れ大 Phase Delay Short Phase Delay 位相遅れ小 合成特性 Synthesized Characteristics -180deg Frequency 周波数 -180deg Frequency 周波数 Generally, the frequency fp of the chopper type regulator IC is set from several KHz to higher than ten KHz. With respect to the constants of LC filters described in the applications of each regulator IC, if the inductance of coil or capacitance of the capacitor is set to be less than the recommended values, the resonant frequency fLC of the LC filter may rise to decrease the phase margin. Care should be taken to this phenomenon. The constants of peripheral components should be properly selected according to the applications of each regulator I.C. 20 SI-8050HFE 60 630 50 540 40 450 ｹﾞｲﾝ Gain 360 20 270 10 180 0 90 -10 0 位相 Phase -20 Phase (°) 30 位相（゜） Gain (dB ｹﾞｲﾝ（dB） チョッパーReg ゲイン、位相特性例 Typical Characteristics of Gain and Phase -90 -30 -180 -40 100 1000 Frequency (Hz) 周波数 （Hz） -270 10000 ● 4-5 Thermal Design 4-5-1 Calculation of Heat Dissipation The relation among the power dissipation Pd of regulator, junction temperature Tj, case temperature Tc, heat sink temperature Tfin and ambient temperature Ta is as follows: Chip チップ Pd (Power dissipation) Pd(損失) Tj 温度 Tj:ｼﾞｬﾝｸｼｮﾝ Junction temperature (125°C ) (125 ℃ MAX) θ jc(接合 －ｹｰｽ 間熱抵抗) θjc: Thermal resistance between5℃ junction /W and case 5°C / W Tc: ｹｰｽ Case温度(内部 temperatureﾌﾚｰﾑ (internal Tc 温 frame temperature) 度) Case ケース 放熱器 Heat sink θi: Thermal放熱器間熱抵抗) resistance θ i(ｹｰｽ－ between and/W heat sink) 0.4～case 0.6℃ 0.4 – 0.6°C/ W T fin:放熱器温度 Heat sink temperature Tfin θfin: Heat sink thermal resistance θ fin(放熱器熱抵抗) Ta: 周囲温度 Ambient temperature Ta Tj Tc －－－（６） jc Tj Tfin －－－（７） Pd jc i Tj Ta －－－（８） Pd jc i fin Pd 21 SI-8050HFE 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 (determination of θfin). The heat derating graphically describes this relation.

Where efficiency η = 80% , Vf = 0.5V from the typical characteristics, 5 100 Pd 5 4 1 0.5 4 1 ≒ 3.67W 80 15 125 85 i fin 5 ≒ 5.9ﾟC / W 2.75 As a result, the heat sink with the thermal resistance of 5.9°C /W or less is required. As described above, the heat sink is determined, but the derating of 10 - 20% or more is used. Actually, heat dissipation effect significantly changes depending on the difference in component mounting. Therefore, heat sink temperature or case temperature should be checked with the heat sink mounted. The maximum rating Tjmax of the SI-8050HFE is 150°C, but it is recommended to design the heat sink at TjMAX < 125°C since the thermal shutdown circuit may be operated at 130°C or higher. 4-5-2 Installation to Heat sink Selection of silicon grease When the SI-8050HFE is installed to the heat sink, silicon grease should be thinly and evenly coated between the IC and heat sink. Without coating, thermal resistance θi is significantly increased because of contact failure due to micro concavity/convexity between the backside of the IC and the surface of the heat sink to accelerate the heating of the IC, resulting in shorter life of the IC. In some kind of silicon grease to be used, oil component may be separated to penetrate into the IC, 22 SI-8050HFE resulting in the deformation of packages or the adverse effect on built-in elements. Any other silicon grease than one based on the modified silicon oil shall not be used. The recommended silicon greases are as follows: Sanken’s recommended silicon greases: Types Suppliers G746 Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. SC102 Toray Silicone Co., Ltd. YG6260 Momentive Performance Materials Inc. Tightening torque of fixing screws In order to keep the thermal resistance between the IC and the heat sink at low level without damaging the IC package, it is necessary to control the torque of fixing screws in a proper way. Even if silicon grease is coated, the thermal resistance θi increases if the tightening torque is not enough. of thermal resistance (%) Change rate熱抵抗変化率（%） For the SI-8050HFE, 58.8 – 68.6N cm (6.0 - 7.0 kg cm) are recommended. 110 105 100 95 90 0 20 40 60 締め付けトルク（N・cm） Tightening Torque (N cm) 80 100 * 1.

Applications ● 5-1 Soft Start When a capacitor is connected to terminal 5, the soft start is activated when the input voltage is applied. Vout rises in relation with the charging voltage of Css. Therefore, the rough estimation is done by the time constant calculation of Css charging. The capacitor Css controls the rise time by controlling the OFF period of PWM control. The rise time tss is obtained approximately by the following equation: The terminal 5 should be open, when the soft start is not used. VIN SI-8050HFE SI-8000FF Tss = (Css × VssA) / IssL (sec) 5.SS VOUT Css Tss Since the SS terminal is pulled up (3.6V TYP) with the internal power supply of IC, the external voltage cannot be applied. If Css is high, it takes time to discharge Css after Vin is turned OFF. It is recommended to use the Css with the value of 10μF or less. When Vin drops, the charges of Css are discharged from the Vin terminal. SI-8050 HFE Css – Vo Start-up Time SI-8008HFE Css vs起動時間 Vo=5v設定 Co=680uF Co = 680uF 10000 起動時間実測値 計算値 起動時間 ms time ms Start-up 1000 100 10 1 0.1 0.001 0.01 0.1 Css uF 1 10 The reference data of calculated value and actual value of start-up time of CSS are shown above. 25 SI-8050HFE If there is no Css or it is extremely low, Vout rises at the time constants charging the output capacitor with the output current restricted by the overcurrent protection Is. At CSS = 0.001μF in the start-up time graph above, time constants charging output capacitors with output current restricted by overcurrent protection are predominant rather than time constants by Css. Time constants at output capacitor start-up t = (Co × Vo) / Is・・・・(at no load) * The amount of load current value is deducted from the Is value at load. ● 5-2 Output ON/ OFF Control The output ON-Off control is possible using the SS (No.5) terminal. The output is turned OFF when the terminal 5 voltage falls below VssL (0.5V) by such as open collector. It is possible to use the soft start together. Since the soft start terminal has been already pulled up (3.7V TYP), no voltage shall be applied from the external side.

In the observation of spike noise, the probe lead wire should be as short as possible and be connected with the root of the output capacitor. ● 5-4 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.

Terminology - Jitter It is a kind of abnormal switching operations and is a phenomenon that the switching pulse width varies in spite of the constant condition of input and output. The output ripple voltage peak width is increased when a jitter occurs. - Recommended Conditions It shows the operation conditions required for maintaining normal circuit functions. It is required to meet the conditions in actual operations. - Absolute Maximum Ratings 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) - It is the equivalent series resistance of a capacitor. It acts in a similar manner to the resistor series-connected to the capacitor. 29 SI-8050HFE Notice ・The contents of this description are subject to change without prior notice for improvement etc. Please make sure that any information to be used is the latest one. ・Any example of operation or circuitry described in this application note is only for reference, and we are not liable to any infringement of industrial property rights, intellectual property rights or any other rights owned by third parties resulting from such examples. ・In the event that you use any product described here in combination with other products, please review the feasibility of combination at your responsibility. ・Although we endeavor to improve the quality and reliability of our product, in the case of semi-conductor components, defects or failures which occur at a certain rate of probability are inevitable.
