Operation BD8961NV is a synchronous step-down switching regulator that achieves fast transient response by employing current mode PWM control system. (1) Synchronous Rectifier Integrated synchronous rectification using two MOSFETs reduces power dissipation and increases efficiency when compared to converters using external diodes. Internal shoot-through current limiting circuit further reduces power dissipation. (2) Current Mode PWM Control PWM control signal of this IC depends on two feedback loops, the voltage feedback and the inductor current feedback. (a) PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Control The clock signal coming from OSC has a frequency of 1MHz. When OSC sets the RS latch, the P-Channel MOSFET is turned on and the N-Channel MOSFET is turned OFF. The opposite happens when the current comparator (Current Comp) resets the RS latch i.e. the P-Channel MOSFET is turned OFF and the N-Channel MOSFET is turned on. Current Comp's output is a comparison of two signals, the current feedback control signal "SENSE" which is a voltage proportional to the current IL, and the voltage feedback control signal, FB.

Datasheet Description of Functions (1) Soft-Start Function During start-up, the soft-start circuit gradually establishes the output voltage to limit the input current. This prevents the overshoot in the output voltage and inrush current. (2) Shutdown Function When EN terminal is “low”, the device operates in Standby Mode and all the functional blocks including reference voltage circuit, internal oscillator and drivers are turned OFF. Circuit current during standby is 0μA (Typ). (3) UVLO Function The UVLO circuit detects whether the supplied input voltage is sufficient to obtain the output voltage of this IC. The UVLO threshold, which has a hysteresis of 100mV (Typ), prevents output bouncing.

Datasheet Considerations on Permissible Dissipation and Heat Generation Since this IC functions with high efficiency without significant heat generation in most applications, no special consideration is needed on permissible dissipation or heat generation. In case of extreme conditions, however, including lower input voltage, higher output voltage, heavier load, and/or higher temperature, the permissible dissipation and/or heat generation must be carefully considered. For dissipation, only conduction losses due to DC resistance of inductor and ON-Resistance of FET are considered. This is because conduction losses are the most significant among other dissipation factors mentioned above, gate charge/discharge dissipation and switching dissipation. ①3.9W Power :Pd[W] PowerDissipation dissipation:Pd [W] 4.0 ①for SON008V5060 JEDEC 4 layer board 76.2mmx114.3mmx1.6mm θj-a=32.1°C/W ②for SON008V5060 ROHM standard 1 layer board 70mmx70mmx1.6mm θj-a=138.9°C /W ③ IC only θj-a=195.3°C /W 3.0 2.0 1.0 P I OUT 2 RON RON D RONP 1 D RONN D is the ON duty (=VOUT/VCC) RCOIL is the DC Resistance of Coil RONP is the ON-Resistance of P-Channel MOS FET RONN is the ON-Resistance of N-Channel MOS FET IOUT is the Output Current ②0.90W ③0.64W 0 0 25 50 75 100105 125 150 Ambient :Ta[°C] Ambient Temperature temperature:Ta [℃] Figure 25.

Output Ripple Current Note: Current exceeding the current rating of the inductor results in magnetic saturation of the inductor, which decreases efficiency. The inductor must be selected allowing sufficient margin with which the peak current may not exceed its current rating.

Less ESR allows reduction in output ripple voltage.

Although the parts are standard, actual circuit characteristics should be checked on your application carefully before use. Be sure to allow sufficient margins to accommodate variations between external devices and this IC when employing the depicted circuit with other circuit constants modified. Both static and transient characteristics should be considered in establishing these margins. When switching noise is substantial and may impact the system, a low pass filter should be inserted between the VCC and PVCC pins, and a schottky barrier diode established between the SW and PGND pins. www.rohm.com ©2012 ROHM Co., Ltd.

Reverse Connection of Power Supply Connecting the power supply in reverse polarity can damage the IC. Take precautions against reverse polarity when connecting the power supply, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power supply pins. 2. Power Supply Lines Design the PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance supply lines. Separate the ground and supply lines of the digital and analog blocks to prevent noise in the ground and supply lines of the digital block from affecting the analog block. Furthermore, connect a capacitor to ground at all power supply pins. Consider the effect of temperature and aging on the capacitance value when using electrolytic capacitors. 3. Ground Voltage Ensure that no pins are at a voltage below that of the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition. 4. Ground Wiring Pattern When using both small-signal and large-current ground traces, the two ground traces should be routed separately but connected to a single ground at the reference point of the application board to avoid fluctuations in the small-signal ground caused by large currents. Also ensure that the ground traces of external components do not cause variations on the ground voltage. The ground lines must be as short and thick as possible to reduce line impedance. 5. Thermal Consideration Should by any chance the power dissipation rating be exceeded the rise in temperature of the chip may result in deterioration of the properties of the chip. In case of exceeding this absolute maximum rating, increase the board size and copper area to prevent exceeding the Pd rating. 6. Recommended Operating Conditions These conditions represent a range within which the expected characteristics of the IC can be approximately obtained. The electrical characteristics are guaranteed under the conditions of each parameter. 7. Inrush Current When power is first supplied to the IC, it is possible that the internal logic may be unstable and inrush current may flow instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays, especially if the IC has more than one power supply. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of ground wiring, and routing of connections. 8. Operation Under Strong Electromagnetic Field Operating the IC in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field may cause the IC to malfunction. 9. Testing on Application Boards When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor directly to a low-impedance output pin may subject the IC to stress. Always discharge capacitors completely after each process or step. The IC’s power supply should always be turned off completely before connecting or removing it from the test setup during the inspection process. To prevent damage from static discharge, ground the IC during assembly and use similar precautions during transport and storage. 10. Inter-pin Short and Mounting Errors Ensure that the direction and position are correct when mounting the IC on the PCB. Incorrect mounting may result in damaging the IC. Avoid nearby pins being shorted to each other especially to ground, power supply and output pin. Inter-pin shorts could be due to many reasons such as metal particles, water droplets (in very humid environment) and unintentional solder bridge deposited in between pins during assembly to name a few. www.rohm.com ©2012 ROHM Co., Ltd.

Unused Input Pins Input pins of an IC are often connected to the gate of a MOS transistor. The gate has extremely high impedance and extremely low capacitance. If left unconnected, the electric field from the outside can easily charge it. The small charge acquired in this way is enough to produce a significant effect on the conduction through the transistor and cause unexpected operation of the IC. So unless otherwise specified, unused input pins should be connected to the power supply or ground line. 12. Regarding the Input Pin of the IC This monolithic IC contains P+ isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them isolated. P-N junctions are formed at the intersection of the P layers with the N layers of other elements, creating a parasitic diode or transistor. For example (refer to figure below): When GND > Pin A and GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic diode. When GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic transistor. Parasitic diodes inevitably occur in the structure of the IC. The operation of parasitic diodes can result in mutual interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical damage. Therefore, conditions that cause these diodes to operate, such as applying a voltage lower than the GND voltage to an input pin (and thus to the P substrate) should be avoided. Resistor Transistor (NPN) Pin A Pin B C E Pin A N P+ P N N P+ N Pin B B Parasitic Elements N P+ N P N P+ B N C E Parasitic Elements P Substrate P Substrate GND GND Parasitic Elements GND Parasitic Elements GND N Region close-by Figure 34. Example of monolithic IC structure 13. Thermal Shutdown Circuit(TSD) This IC has a built-in thermal shutdown circuit that prevents heat damage to the IC. Normal operation should always be within the IC’s power dissipation rating. If however the rating is exceeded for a continued period, the junction temperature (Tj) will rise which will activate the TSD circuit that will turn OFF all output pins. When the Tj falls below the TSD threshold, the circuits are automatically restored to normal operation. Note that the TSD circuit operates in a situation that exceeds the absolute maximum ratings and therefore, under no circumstances, should the TSD circuit be used in a set design or for any purpose other than protecting the IC from heat damage. 14. Selection of Inductor It is recommended to use an inductor with a series resistance element (DCR) 0.1Ω or less. Especially, note that use of a high DCR inductor will cause an inductor loss, resulting in decreased output voltage. Should this condition continue for a specified period (soft start time + timer latch time), output short circuit protection will be activated and output will be latched OFF. When using an inductor over 0.1Ω, be careful to ensure adequate margins for variation between external devices and this IC, including transient as well as static characteristics. Furthermore, in any case, it is recommended to start up the output with EN after supply voltage is within. www.rohm.com ©2012 ROHM Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

ROHM designs and manufactures its Products subject to strict quality control system. However, semiconductor products can fail or malfunction at a certain rate. Please be sure to implement, at your own responsibilities, adequate safety measures including but not limited to fail-safe design against the physical injury, damage to any property, which a failure or malfunction of our Products may cause. The following are examples of safety measures: [a] Installation of protection circuits or other protective devices to improve system safety [b] Installation of redundant circuits to reduce the impact of single or multiple circuit failure 3. Our Products are designed and manufactured for use under standard conditions and not under any special or extraordinary environments or conditions, as exemplified below. Accordingly, ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for any damages, expenses or losses arising from the use of any ROHM’s Products under any special or extraordinary environments or conditions. If you intend to use our Products under any special or extraordinary environments or conditions (as exemplified below), your independent verification and confirmation of product performance, reliability, etc, prior to use, must be necessary: [a] Use of our Products in any types of liquid, including water, oils, chemicals, and organic solvents [b] Use of our Products outdoors or in places where the Products are exposed to direct sunlight or dust [c] Use of our Products in places where the Products are exposed to sea wind or corrosive gases, including Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2, and NO2 [d] Use of our Products in places where the Products are exposed to static electricity or electromagnetic waves [e] Use of our Products in proximity to heat-producing components, plastic cords, or other flammable items [f] Sealing or coating our Products with resin or other coating materials [g] Use of our Products without cleaning residue of flux (even if you use no-clean type fluxes, cleaning residue of flux is recommended); or Washing our Products by using water or water-soluble cleaning agents for cleaning residue after soldering [h] Use of the Products in places subject to dew condensation 4. The Products are not subject to radiation-proof design. 5. Please verify and confirm characteristics of the final or mounted products in using the Products. 6. In particular, if a transient load (a large amount of load applied in a short period of time, such as pulse. is applied, confirmation of performance characteristics after on-board mounting is strongly recommended. Avoid applying power exceeding normal rated power; exceeding the power rating under steady-state loading condition may negatively affect product performance and reliability. 7. De-rate Power Dissipation (Pd) depending on Ambient temperature (Ta). When used in sealed area, confirm the actual ambient temperature. 8. Confirm that operation temperature is within the specified range described in the product specification. 9. ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for failure induced under deviant condition from what is defined in this document. Precaution for Mounting / Circuit board design 1.
