Pin Function
Supply Input. VIN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter
switches. Drive VIN with a 4.5V to 21V power source. Bypass VIN to GND with a
suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC.
Switch Node. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect
the output LC filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required
from SW to BOOT to power the high side switch.
High Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BOOT supplies the drive for the high side
N-MOSFET switch. Connect a 100nF or greater capacitor from SW to BOOT to
power the high side switch.
Chip Enable (Active High). For automatic start up, connect the EN pin to VIN with
a 100kΩ resistor.
Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage to regulate said voltage. Drive FB
with a resistive voltage divider from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is
0.808V.
Bias Supply. Decouple with 0.1μF to 0.22μF capacitor. The capacitance should be
no more than 0.22μF.
Ground. The Exposed Pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.

Application Information
The IC is a synchronous high voltage buck converter that
can support the input voltage range from 4.5V to 21V and
the output current can be up to 2A.
Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set by an external resistive divider
according to the following equation :
VOUT = VFB ⎛⎜ 1+ R1 ⎞⎟
⎝ R2 ⎠
where VFB is the feedback reference voltage 0.808V
(typical).
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense a fraction
of the output voltage as shown in Figure 1.
Soft-Start
The IC contains an internal soft-start function to prevent
large inrush current and output voltage overshoot when
the converter starts up. Soft-start automatically begins
once the chip is enabled. During soft-start, the internal
soft-start capacitor becomes charged and generates a
linear ramping up voltage across the capacitor. This voltage
clamps the voltage at the internal reference, causing the
duty pulse width to increase slowly and in turn reduce the
output surge current. Finally, the internal 1V reference
takes over the loop control once the internal ramping-up
voltage becomes higher than 1V. The typical soft-start
time for this IC is set at 2ms.

External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 100nF low ESR ceramic capacitor between
the BOOT pin and SW pin as shown in Figure 2. This
capacitor provides the gate driver voltage for the high side
MOSFET. It is recommended to add an external bootstrap
diode between an external 5V and BOOT pin for efficiency
improvement when input voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty
ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a
low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. The external 5V
can be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the
IC. Note that the external boot voltage must be lower than
5.5V.

The IC includes an input Under Voltage Lockout Protection
(UVLO). If the input voltage exceeds the UVLO rising
threshold voltage (4.2V), the converter resets and prepares
the PWM for operation. If the input voltage falls below the
UVLO falling threshold voltage (3.8V) during normal
operation, the device stops switching. The UVLO rising
and falling threshold voltage includes a hysteresis to
prevent noise caused reset.
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shut down the device. During shutdown
mode, the IC quiescent current drops to lower than 1μA.
Driving the EN pin high (>2V, < 5.5V) will turn on the
device again. For external timing control (e.g.RC), the
EN pin can also be externally pulled high by adding a
REN* resistor and CEN* capacitor from the VIN pin, as can
be seen from the Figure 5.
An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital
control on the EN pin when front age system voltage below
2.5V is available, as shown in Figure 3. In this case, a
100kΩ pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between VIN
and the EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control
to pull down the EN pin.

Figure 4. The Resistors can be Selected to Set IC Lockout Threshold
To prevent enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the
VOUT target value, a resistive voltage divider can be placed
between the input voltage and ground and connected to
the EN pin to adjust IC lockout threshold, as shown in
Figure 4. For example, if an 8V output voltage is regulated
from a 12V input voltage, the resistor REN2 can be selected
to set input lockout threshold larger than 8V.
Under Output Voltage Protection-Hiccup Mode
For the IC, Hiccup Mode of Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
is provided. When the FB voltage drops below half of the
feedback reference voltage, VFB, the UVP function will be
triggered and the IC will shut down for a period of time and
then recover automatically. The Hiccup Mode of UVP can
reduce input current in short-circuit conditions.
Inductor Selection
For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value
and operating frequency determine the ripple current. The
ripple current ΔIL increases with higher VIN and decreases
with higher inductance.

Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR
losses in the output capacitors but also the output voltage
ripple. Highest efficiency operation is achieved by reducing
ripple current at low frequency, but it requires a large
inductor to attain this goal.
For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.24(IMAX)
will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple current
occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple
current stays below a specified maximum, the inductor
value should be chosen according to the following
equation :
⎡ VOUT ⎤ ⎡
VOUT ⎤
L =⎢
⎥ × ⎢1 −
⎥
⎣ f × ΔIL(MAX) ⎦ ⎣ VIN(MAX) ⎦
The inductor's current rating (caused a 40°C temperature
rising from 25°C ambient) should be greater than the
maximum load current and its saturation current should
be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. Please
see Table 2 for the inductor selection reference and it is
highly recommended to keep inductor value as close as
possible to the recommended inductor values for each
Vout as shown in Table 1.

Input and Output Capacitors Selection
The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET.
To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input capacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The
RMS current is given by :
V
IRMS = IOUT(MAX) OUT
VIN
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS =
IOUT / 2. This simple worst case condition is commonly
used for design because even significant deviations do
not offer much relief.
Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to
meet size or height requirements in the design.
For the input capacitor, one 22μF low ESR ceramic
capacitors are recommended. For the recommended
capacitor, please refer to Table 3 for more detail.

The selection of COUT is determined by the required ESR
to minimize voltage ripple.
Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key
for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable.
Loop stability can be checked by viewing the load transient
response.
The output ripple, ΔVOUT, is determined by :

ΔVOUT ≤ ΔIL ⎡⎢ESR +
8fCOUT ⎦⎥
⎣
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However, care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at input and
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input

DS8286-02

and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden
inrush of current through the long wires can potentially
cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the
part.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the chip from
operating at excessively high temperatures. When the
junction temperature is higher than 150°C, the whole chip
is shutdown. The chip is automatically re-enable when
the junction temperature cools down by approximately
30 degrees.

EMI Consideration
Figure 5. Another method is by adding a resistor in series
with the bootstrap capacitor, CBOOT, but this method will
decrease the driving capability to the high side MOSFET.
It is strongly recommended to reserve the R-C snubber
during PCB layout for EMI improvement. Moreover,
reducing the SW trace area and keeping the main power
in a small loop will be helpful on EMI performance. For
detailed PCB layout guide, please refer to the section
Layout Considerations.
Since parasitic inductance and capacitance effects in PCB
circuitry would cause a spike voltage on SW pin when
high side MOSFET is turned-on/off, this spike voltage on
SW may impact on EMI performance in the system. In
order to enhance EMI performance, there are two methods
to suppress the spike voltage. One way is by placing an

For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) packages, the thermal resistance,
θJA, is 75°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer
thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at
TA = 25°C can be calculated by the following formula :
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 6 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Layout Considerations
`
Connect feedback network behind the output capacitors.
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback
components near the IC.
`
Connect all analog grounds to a common node and then
connect the common node to the power ground behind
the output capacitors.
`
An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 7.
for reference.
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of the IC.
`
Keep the traces of the main current paths as short and
wide as possible.
`
Put the input capacitor as close as possible to the device
pins (VIN and GND).
`
SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and
should be kept at small area. Keep analog components
away from the SW node to prevent stray capacitive noise
pickup.
Place the input and
output capacitors
as close to the IC
as possible.

SW should be connected
to inductor by wide and
