This is an error amp that compares the reference voltage (0.65V) with V
to drive the output Nch FET (Ron=150mΩ).
O
Frequency optimization helps to realize rapid transient response, and to support the use of ceramic capacitors on the
output capacitors. AMP input voltage ranges from GND to 2.7V, while the AMP output ranges from GND to V
is OFF, or when UVLO is active, output goes LOW and the output of the NchFET switches OFF.
・EN
The EN block controls the regulator’s ON/OFF state via the EN logic input pin. In the OFF position, circuit voltage is
maintained at 0µA, thus minimizing current consumption at standby. The FET is switched ON to enable discharge of the
NRCS pin V
electrical connection is required (e.g. between the V
, thereby draining the excess charge and preventing the IC on the load side from malfunctioning. Since no

, it is effective at output startup. VDUVLO can be restored either by reconnecting the EN pin or VCC pin.
CC
・CURRENT LIMIT
When output is ON, the current limit function monitors the internal IC output current against the parameter value. When
current exceeds this level, the current limit module lowers the output current to protect the load IC. When the overcurrent
state is eliminated, output voltage is restored to the parameter value. However, when output voltage falls to or below the
SCP startup voltage, the SCP function becomes active and the output switches OFF.
・NRCS (Non Rush Current on Start-up)
The soft start function enabled by connecting an external capacitor between the NRCS pin and ground. Output ramp-up
can be set for any period up to the time the NRCS pin reaches V
(0.65V). During startup, the NRCS pin serves as a
FB
20µA (TYP) constant current source to charge the external capacitor. Output start time is calculated via the formula below.

・TSD (Thermal Shut down)
The shutdown (TSD) circuit automatically is latched OFF when the chip temperature exceeds the threshold temperature
after the programmed time period elapses, thus serving to protect the IC against “thermal runaway” and heat damage.
Because the TSD circuit is intended to shut down the IC only in the presence of extreme heat, it is crucial that the Tj (max)
parameter not be exceeded in the thermal design ,in order to avoid potential problems with the TSD.
・V
IN
The V
connection (such as between the V
input sequence. However, since an output NchFET body diode exists between V
line acts as the major current supply line, and is connected to the output NchFET drain. Since no electrical
IN
pin and the ESD protection diode) is necessary, VIN operates independent of the
CC
and VO, a VIN-VO electric (diode)
IN
connection is present. Note, therefore, that when output is switched ON or OFF, reverse current may flow to V
・SCP
When output voltage (Vo) drops, the IC assumes that VO pin is shorted to GND and switches the output voltage OFF. After
the GND short has been detected and the programmed delay time has elapsed, output is latched OFF. It is also effective
during output startup. SCP can be cleared either by reconnecting the EN pin or VCC pin.
To assure output voltage stability, please be certain the output capacitors are connected
between Vo pin and GND. Output capacitors play a role in loop gain phase
compensation and in mitigating output fluctuation during rapid changes in load level.
Insufficient capacitance may cause oscillation, while high equivalent series reisistance
(ESR) will exacerbate output voltage fluctuation under rapid load change conditions.
While a 22µF ceramic capacitor is recomended, actual stability is highly dependent on
temperature and load conditions. Also, note that connecting different types of capacitors
in series may result in insufficient total phase compensation, thus causing oscillation. In
light of this information, please confirm operation across a variety of temperature and
load conditions.

The Non Rush Current on Startup (NRCS) function is built into the IC to prevent rush
current from going through the load (VIN to VO) and impacting output capacitors at power
supply start-up. Constant current comes from the NRCS pin when EN is HIGH or the
C4 0.01µF
UVLO function is deactivated. The temporary reference voltage is proportionate to time,
due to the current charge of the NRCS pin capacitor, and output voltage start-up is
proportionate to this reference voltage. Capacitors with low susceptibility to temperature
are recommended, in order to assure a stable soft-start time.

●Heat Loss
Thermal design should allow operation within the following conditions. Note that the temperatures listed are the allowed
temperature limits, and thermal design should allow sufficient margin from the limits.
1. Ambient temperature Ta can be no higher than 100℃.
2. Chip junction temperature (Tj) can be no higher than 150℃.
Chip junction temperature can be determined as follows:

Substrate size: 70×70×1.6mm
It is recommended to layout the VIA for heat radiation in the GND pattern of reverse (of IC) when there is the GND pattern in
the inner layer (in using multiplayer substrate). This package is so small (size: 2.9mm×3.0mm) that it is not available to
layout the VIA in the bottom of IC. Spreading the pattern and being increased the number of VIA like the figure below enable
to get the superior heat radiation characteristic. (This figure is the image. It is recommended that the VIA size and the
number is designed suitable for the actual situation.).
Most of the heat loss that occurs in the BD35281HFN is generated from the output Nch FET. Power loss is determined by the
IN-Vo voltage and output current. Be sure to confirm the system input and output voltage and the output current

1. Absolute maximum ratings
An excess in the absolute maximum ratings, such as supply voltage, temperature range of operating conditions, etc., can
break down the devices, thus making impossible to identify breaking mode, such as a short circuit or an open circuit. If any
over rated values will expect to exceed the absolute maximum ratings, consider adding circuit protection devices, such as
fuses.
2. Connecting the power supply connector backward
Connecting of the power supply in reverse polarity can damage IC. Take precautions when connecting the power supply
lines. An external direction diode can be added.
3. Power supply lines
Design PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance GND and supply lines. To obtain a low noise ground and supply line,
separate the ground section and supply lines of the digital and analog blocks. Furthermore, for all power supply terminals
to ICs, connect a capacitor between the power supply and the GND terminal. When applying electrolytic capacitors in the
circuit, not that capacitance characteristic values are reduced at low temperatures.
4. GND voltage
The potential of GND pin must be minimum potential in all operating conditions.
5.Thermal design
Use a thermal design that allows for a sufficient margin in light of the power dissipation (Pd) in actual operating conditions.
6. Inter-pin shorts and mounting errors
Use caution when positioning the IC for mounting on printed circuit boards. The IC may be damaged if there is any
connection error or if pins are shorted together.
7. Actions in strong electromagnetic field
Use caution when using the IC in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field as doing so may cause the IC to
malfunction.
8. ASO
When using the IC, set the output transistor so that it does not exceed absolute maximum ratings or ASO.
9. Thermal shutdown circuit
The IC incorporates a built-in thermal shutdown circuit (TSD circuit). The thermal shutdown circuit (TSD circuit) is
designed only to shut the IC off to prevent thermal runaway. It is not designed to protect the IC or guarantee its operation.
Do not continue to use the IC after operating this circuit or use the IC in an environment where the operation of this circuit
is assumed.

10. Testing on application boards
When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor to a pin with low impedance subjects the IC to stress.
Always discharge capacitors after each process or step. Always turn the IC's power supply off before connecting it to or
removing it from a jig or fixture during the inspection process. Ground the IC during assembly steps as an antistatic
measure. Use similar precaution when transporting or storing the IC.
11. Regarding 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 these P layers with the N layers of other elements, creating a parasitic diode
or transistor. For example, the relation between each potential is as follows:
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 can occur inevitable in the structure of the IC. The operation of parasitic diodes can result in mutual
interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical damage. Accordingly, methods by which parasitic diodes
operate, such as applying a voltage that is lower than the GND (P substrate) voltage to an input pin, should not be used.

12. Ground Wiring Pattern.
When using both small signal and large current GND patterns, it is recommended to isolate the two ground patterns,
placing a single ground point at the ground potential of application so that the pattern wiring resistance and voltage
variations caused by large currents do not cause variations in the small signal ground voltage. Be careful not to change the
GND wiring pattern of any external components, either.
