Nch FET Ultra LDOs
for Desktop PCs Chipsets with Power Good
BD3540NUV, BD3541NUV
●Description
The BD3540NUV, BD3541NUV low-voltage output linear 1ch series chipset regulator IC operates from a very low input
supply, and offers ideal performance in low input voltage to low output voltage applications. It incorporates a built-in
N-MOSFET power transistor to minimize the input-to-output voltage differential to the ON resistance (R
400mΩ) level. By lowering the dropout voltage in this way, the regulator realizes high current output (Iomax=0.5A~1.0A)
with reduced conversion loss, and thereby obviates the switching regulator and its power transistor, choke coil, and rectifier
diode. Thus, the BD3540NUV, BD3541NUV are designed to enable significant package profile downsizing and cost
reduction. An external resistor allows the entire range of output voltage configurations between 0.65 and 2.7V, while the
NRCS (soft start) function enables a controlled output voltage ramp-up, which can be programmed to whatever power
supply sequence is required.

●Attention : About this document
The official specification of this product (BD354XNUV) is the Japanese version.
This translation is intended only as a reference to understand the official version.
If there are any differences between the Japanese and this translated version, the official Japanese version takes priority.
This is an error amp that compares the reference voltage (0.65V) with Vo to drive the output Nch FET (Ron=100mΩ~
400mΩ). Frequency optimization helps to realize rapid transient response, and to support the use of ceramic capacitors
on the output. AMP input voltage ranges from GND to 2.7V, while the AMP output ranges from GND to VCC. When EN 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 Vo, thereby draining the excess charge and preventing the IC on the load side from malfunctioning. Since no
electrical connection is required (e.g., between the VCC pin and the ESD prevention Diode), module operation is
independent of the input sequence.
・UVLO
To prevent malfunctions that can occur during a momentary decrease in VCC, the UVLO circuit switches the output OFF,
and (like the EN block) discharges NRCS and Vo. Once the UVLO threshold voltage (TYP2.5V) is reached, the power-on
reset is triggered and output continues.
・CURRENT LIMIT
When output is ON, the current limit function monitors the internal IC output current against the parameter value (2.0A or
more:BD3540NUV). 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.
・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 VFB (0.65V). During startup, the NRCS pin serves as a
20μA (TYP) constant current source to charge the external capacitor. Output start time is calculated via formula (1) below.
t = C ・・・(1)
Tracking sequence is available by connecting the output voltage of external power supply instead of external capacitor.
And then, ratio-metric sequence is also available by changing the resistor division ratio of external power supply output
voltage. (See the next page)
・TSD (Thermal Shut down)
The shutdown (TSD) circuit automatically switches output OFF when the chip temperature gets too high, thus serving to
protect the IC against “thermal runaway” and heat damage. Because the TSD circuit is provided to shut down the IC in
the presence of extreme heat, in order to avoid potential problems with the TSD, it is crucial that the Tj (max) parameter
not be exceeded in the thermal design.
・VIN
The VIN line acts as the major current supply line, and is connected to the output NchFET drain. Since no electrical
connection (such as between the VCC pin and the ESD protection Diode) is necessary, VIN operates independent of the
input sequence. However, since an output NchFET body Diode exists between VIN and Vo, a VIN-Vo electric (Diode)
connection is present. Note, therefore, that when output is switched ON or OFF, reverse current may flow to VIN from Vo.
・PGOOD
It outputs the output voltage (Vo). PGOOD pin (open drain) is used to pull up the 100kΩ resistor. PGOOD will be
judged HIGH between the FB voltage 0.585V(TYP) to 0.715V(TYP), and will be judged LOW if the voltage is out of range.
・PGDLY
It is available to set PGOOD output delay. PGDLY pin should be connected to 100pF capacitor.
PGOOD delay time id determined by the following formula.
IC output voltage can be set with a configuration formula using the values for the internal
reference output voltage (V
values that will avoid the impact of the VREF
)and the output voltage resistors (R1, R2). Select resistance
FB
current (±100nA).The recommended total
resistance value is 10KΩ.
To assure output voltage stability, please be certain the VOUT1 pins and the GND pins are
connected. 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.
Input capacitors reduce the output impedance of the voltage supply source connected to
the (VCC) input pins. If the impedance of this power supply were to increase, input voltage
(VCC) could become unstable, leading to oscillation or lowered ripple rejection function.
While a low-ESR 1μF capacitor with minimal susceptibility to temperature is
recommended, stability is highly dependent on the input power supply characteristics and
the substrate wiring pattern. In light of this information, please confirm operation across a
variety of temperature and load conditions.
Input capacitors reduce the output impedance of the voltage supply source connected to

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 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.

This component is employed when the C3 capacitor causes, or may cause, oscillation. It
provides more precise internal phase correction.
R5 100k It is pull-up resistance of Open Drain pin. 100kΩ is recommended.
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. GND voltage
The potential of GND pin must be minimum potential in all operating conditions.
3. Thermal design
Use a thermal design that allows for a sufficient margin in light of the power dissipation (Pd) in actual operating
conditions.
4. 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.
5. ASO
When using the IC, set the output transistor so that it does not exceed absolute maximum ratings or ASO.
6. Thermal shutdown circuit
The IC incorporates a built-in thermal shutdown circuit (TSD circuit: Latch type). The thermal shutdown circuit (TSD
circuit: Latch type) 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
isassumed.

7. 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.
8. Output voltage resistance setting (R1, R2)
Output voltage resistance is adjusted with resistor R1 and R2. This IC is calculated as V
recommended so that the output voltage is not affected by the V
9. Output capacitors (C3)
To assure output voltage stability, please be certain the V
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 resistance (ESR) will exacerbate output
voltage fluctuation under rapid load change conditions. While a 47uF ceramic capacitor is recommended, 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.
10. Input capacitors setting (C1, C2)
Input capacitors reduce the impedance of the voltage supply source connected to the (VCC, VIN) input pins. If the
impedance of this power supply were to increase, input voltage (VCC, VIN) could become unstable, leading to oscillation
or lowered ripple rejection function. Stability highly depends on the input power supply characteristic and the substrate
wiring pattern. Please confirm operation across a variety of temperature and load conditions.

11. NRCS pin capacitors setting (Cnrcs)
The Non Rush Current on Startup (NRCS) function is built in the IC to prevent rush current from going through the load
(VIN to VO) and impacting output capacitors at power supply start-up. The constant current comes from the NRCS pin
when EN is HIGH or the 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. To
obtain a stable NRCS delay time, capacitors with low susceptibility to temperature are recommended.
12. Input pins (Vcc, VIN, EN)
This IC’s EN pin, VIN pin, and VCC pin are isolated, and the UVLO function is built in the VCC pin to prevent
undervoltage lockout. It does not depend on the Input pin order. Output voltage starts up when VCC and EN reach the
threshold voltage. However, note that when putting in VIN pin lastly, VO may result in overshooting.
13. Heat sink (FIN)
Since the heat sink (FIN) is connected to with the Sub, short it to the GND. It is possible to minimize the thermal
resistance by soldering it to substrate. Please solder properly.
14. Please add a protection diode when a large inductance component is connected to the output terminal, and
reverse-polarity power is possible at start-up or in output OFF condition.
15. Short-circuits between pins and mounting errors
Please be sure to install the IC in correct position and orientation. Mounting errors, such as incorrect positioning or
orientation, or connecting of the power supply in reverse polarity can also destroy the IC. Short-circuit between pins or pin
and the power supply, or between ground may also damage to the IC.
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.

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: 3.0mm×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).

the number is designed suitable for the actual situation.).
Most of the heat loss that occurs in the BD354XNUV 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
total V
conditions in relation to the heat dissipation characteristics of the VIN and Vo in the design. Bearing in mind that heat
dissipation may vary substantially depending on the substrate employed (due to the power package incorporated in the
BD354XNUV) make certain to factor conditions such as substrate size into the thermal design.
