Step-down DC-DC Converter IC
The TB7100F is a single-chip step-down DC-DC converter IC.
Equipped with a built-in high-speed and low on-resistance power
MOSFET, and utilizing a chopper circuit, this IC can achieve a high
efficiency in a wide load current range.
Features
• Capable of high current drive (IOUT = maximum of 700 mA),
using only a few external components
SON8-P-0303-0.65A(PS-8)
• High efficiency (η = 90% or higher) (@VIN = 5V, VOUT = 3.3V,
and IOUT = 300 mA).
Weight: 0.016 g (Typ.)
• Operating voltage (VIN) range: 3 to 5.5 V
• Low on-resistance (RDS(ON)): 0.27 Ω (typ.) if VIN = 5 V
• High oscillation frequency of 550 kHz (typ.), making it possible to use small external components.
• Uses external phase compensation, assuring a high degree of design freedom in selecting external components and
determining a loop response.
• Employs a current mode architecture with excellent fast load response.
• A small surface mount-type ceramic capacitor can be used as an output smoothing capacitor.

How to use
Setting the Inductance
The required inductance can be calculated by using the following equation:
⎛
⎞
V
VOUT
⋅ ⎜1 − OUT ⎟⎟ … (1)
L=
VIN ⎠
fOSC ⋅ ΔIL ⎜⎝
VIN: Input voltage (V)
fOSC: Oscillation frequency (Hz)
VOUT: Output voltage (V)
ΔIL: Inductor ripple current (A)
* Generally, ΔIL should be set to 30% to 40% of the peak current flowing through the inductor. For the TB7100F, set ΔIL to 0.3 A, as
its peak switch current [ISW(PEAK)] is 1 A (min). Therefore select an inductor whose current rating is no lower than the peak
switch current [1 A (min)] of the TB7100F. If the current rating is exceeded, the inductor becomes saturated, leading to an
unstable DC-DC converter operation.
If VIN = 5 V and VOUT = 3.3 V, the required inductance can be calculated as below. Be sure to select an inductor with an optimum
constant by taking VIN variations into consideration.

Setting the output voltage
For the TB7100F, the output voltage is set using the voltage dividing resistors RFB1 and RFB2 according to the reference voltage [0.8
V (typ.)] of the error amplifier connected to the FB pin. If the RFB1 value is extremely large, a delay can occur due to a parasitic
capacitance at the FB pin. Keep the RFB1 value within approximately 100 kΩ. The output voltage can be calculated by using equation 2
below. It is recommended that a resistor with a precision of ±1% or higher be used for setting the output voltage.

Setting the COMP pin for phase compensation
The COMP pin is intended to compensate for any phase delay that may occur inside or outside the TB7100F. Phase compensation is
carried out using resistors and capacitors connected to the COMP pin. The constants of the phase compensation components are
selected by first specifying RCOMP and CCOMP to be, respectively, 1 kΩ and 3300 pF. However, it is necessary to measure the SW pin
oscillation waveform and load response characteristics and tune the component constants, optimizing them so as to optimize the
influence of your board layout and component characteristics. When tuning component constants, carefully evaluate them while taking
component variations and temperature characteristics into consideration.
Table 1 lists the relationships between the RCOMP and CCOMP constants. Use these as a guideline in selecting constants.

Table 1: Relationships between RCOMP and CCOMP values
Output capacitor
The capacitance of the output ceramic capacitor is greatly affected by temperature. Select a product whose temperature
characteristics (such as B-characteristic) are excellent. Set the capacitance to an optimum value that meets the set's ripple requirement
and is not lower than 10 μF. It is more difficult to achieve phase compensation with ceramic capacitors than with tantalum electrolytic
capacitors because the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the former is much lower than that of the latter. For this reason, perform a
careful evaluation when using ceramic capacitors.
Miscellaneous
Generally, a DC-DC converter under current mode control may fail to operate at a constant duty ratio if the duty ratio is 50% or higher.
This IC incorporates slope compensation to achieve as stable an operation as possible.
However, a delay in the internal circuit may prevent the IC from operating at a constant duty ratio when the duty ratio is 50% or so
depending on your input/output and load conditions.

Figure 4: TB7100F board layout
• For the supply voltage, output, and ground lines, which carry high current, use thick wires and make them as short as possible so
as to keep their impedance low.
• Place the input/output smoothing capacitors and inductor as close to the IC as possible.
• For the output voltage monitoring FB line, keep the wire as short as possible to counter the effects of noise.
• Design the layout to ensure that no voltage potential difference occurs between the SGND and PGND pins. Otherwise, the
operation of the IC may become unstable.
• It is recommended you place the components connected to the COMP and RT pins as close to the IC as possible and ground them
at a single point so as stabilize the voltage at these pins. Otherwise, the operation of the IC may become unstable.
• The leakage current of the SBD may increase at high temperatures, leading to a thermal runaway. Ensure, therefore, that no
problem with the SBD will occur even under the worst-case conditions.
A DC-DC converter using this IC is greatly affected by the characteristics of external components and the impedance of the PCB.
Make sure that there is no problem with the dependency of the load current on its output voltage and load response even when any
component constant deviates from the corresponding value given above for reference purposes. Also, design the DC-DC converter
by selecting optimum external components and a suitable board layout so that no rating of this IC will be exceeded.
Precautions
• If the voltage between the input and output is low, the influence of the on-state voltage of the switch power MOSFET is greater,
causing the voltage across the inductor to decrease. For this reason, it may become impossible for the required inductor current
to flow, resulting in lower performance or unstable operation of the DC-DC converter. As a rough standard, keep the input-output
voltage potential difference at or above 1 V, taking the on-state voltage of the power MOSFET into consideration.
• The lowest output voltage that can be set is 0.8 V (typ.).
• There is an antistatic diode between the ENB and VIN pins. The voltage between the ENB and VIN pins should satisfy the rating
