●Description of Blocks
1.VREF
This block generates ERROR AMP reference voltage.
The reference voltage is 0.8 V.
2.UVLO
Circuit for preventing low voltage malfunction
Prevents malfunction of the internal circuit at activation of the power supply voltage or at low power supply voltage.
Monitors VCC pin voltage to turn off all output FET and DC/DC converter output when VCC voltage is lower than 2.2 V,
and reset the timer latch of the internal SCP circuit and soft-start circuit.
3.SCP
Timer latch system short-circuit protection circuit
When the INV pin is the set 0.8 V or lower voltage, the internal SCP circuit starts counting.
The internal counter is in synch with OSC; the latch circuit activates after the counter counts about 16000 oscillations to
turn off DC/DC converter output (about 16 msec when RT = 47kΩ).
To reset the latch circuit, turn off the STB pin once. Then, turn it on again or turn on the power supply voltage again.
4.OSC
Oscillation circuit to change frequency by external resistance of the RT pin (20 pin).
When RT = 47 kΩ, operation frequency is set at 1 MHz.
5.ERROR AMP
Error amplifier for detecting output signals and output PWM control signals
The internal reference voltage is set at 0.8 V.
6.PWM COMP
Voltage-pulse width converter for controlling output voltage corresponding to input voltage
Comparing the internal SLOPE waveform with the ERROR AMP output voltage, PWM COMP controls the pulse width
and outputs to the driver.
Max Duty and Min Duty are set at the primary side and the secondary side of the inductor respectively, which are as
follows:
Primary side (Lx1) Max Duty : 100 %,
Min Duty : 0 %
Secondary side (Lx2) Max Duty : 100 %,
Min Duty : About 15 %
7.SOFT START
Circuit for preventing in-rush current at startup by bringing the output voltage of the DC/DC converter into a soft-start
Soft-start time is in synch with the internal OSC, and the output voltage of the DC/DC converter reaches the set voltage
after about 1000 oscillations (About 1 msec when RT = 47 kΩ).
8.PRE DRIVER
CMOS inverter circuit for driving the built-in Pch/Nch FET
Dead time is provided for preventing feedthrough during switching.
The dead time is set at about 15 nsec for each individual SWs.
9. STBY_IO
Voltage applied on STB pin (19 pin) to control ON/OFF of IC
Turned ON when a voltage of 1.5 V or higher is applied and turned OFF when the terminal is open or 0 V is applied.
Incorporates approximately 400 kΩ pull-down resistance.
10. Pch/Nch FET SW
Built-in SW for switching the coil current of the DC/DC converter. Pch FET is about 120 mΩ and Nch is 100 mΩ.
Since the current rating of this FET is 2 A, it should be used within 2 A in total including the DC current and ripple current
of the coil.

●Selection of Parts for Applications
(1) Output inductor
A shielded inductor that satisfies the current rating (current value, Ipeak as shown in the drawing below) and has a low
DCR (direct current resistance component) is recommended.
Inductor values affect output ripple current greatly.
Ripple current can be reduced as the coil L value becomes larger and the
switching frequency becomes higher as the equations shown below.
As a guide, output ripple current should be set at about 20 to 50% of the maximum output current.
* Current over the coil rating flowing in the coil brings the coil into magnetic saturation, which may lead to lower efficiency
or output oscillation. Select an inductor with an adequate margin so that the peak current does not exceed the rated
current of the coil.

Technical Note
(2) Output capacitor
A ceramic capacitor with low ESR is recommended for output in order to reduce output ripple.
There must be an adequate margin between the maximum rating and output voltage of the capacitor, taking the DC bias
property into consideration.
Output ripple voltage when ceramic capacitor is used is obtained by the following equation.
Vpp=⊿IL× + ⊿IL×R

2π×f×Co

ESR
Setting must be performed so that output ripple is within the allowable ripple voltage.
(3) Setting of oscillation frequency
Oscillation frequency can be set using a resistance value connected to the RT pin (1 pin).
Oscillation frequency is set at 1 MHz when RT = 47 kΩ, and frequency is inversely proportional to RT value.
See Fig. 23 for the relationship between RT and frequency.
Soft-start time changes along with oscillation frequency.
See Fig. 24 for the relationship between RT and soft-start time.

(5) Determination of phase compensation
Condition for stable application
The condition for feedback system stability under negative feedback is as follows:
- Phase delay is 135 °or less when gain is 1 (0 dB) (Phase margin is 45° or higher)
Since DC/DC converter application is sampled according to the switching frequency, the GBW of the whole system
(frequency at which gain is 0 dB) must be set to be equal to or lower than 1/5 of the switching frequency.
In summary, target property of applications is as follows:
- Phase delay must be 135°or lower when gain is 1 (0 dB) (Phase margin is 45° or higher).
- The GBW at that time (frequency when gain is 0 dB) must be equal to or lower than 1/5 of the switching frequency.
For this reason, switching frequency must be increased to improve responsiveness.
One of the points to secure stability by phase compensation is to cancel secondary phase delay (-180°) generated by LC
resonance by the secondary phase lead (i.e. put two phase leads).
Since GBW is determined by the phase compensation capacitor attached to the error amplifier, when it is necessary to
reduce GBW, the capacitor should be made larger.

Phase compensation when output capacitor with low ESR such as ceramic capacitor is used is as follows:
When output capacitor with low ESR (several tens of mΩ) is used for output, secondary phase lead (two phase leads)
must be put to cancel secondary phase lead caused by LC.
One of the examples of phase compensation methods is as follows:

For setting of phase-lead frequency, both of them should be put near LC resonance frequency.
When GBW frequency becomes too high due to the secondary phase lead, it may get stabilized by setting the primary
phase delay to a frequency slightly higher than the LC resonance frequency by R3 to compensate it.

●Precautions for Use
1) Absolute Maximum Rating
We dedicate much attention to the quality control of these products, however the possibility of deterioration or destruction
exists if the impressed voltage, operating temperature range, etc., exceed the absolute maximum ratings. In addition, it is
impossible to predict all destructive situations such as short-circuit modes, open circuit modes, etc. If a special mode
exceeding the absolute maximum rating is expected, please review matters and provide physical safety means such as
fuses, etc.
2) GND Potential
Keep the potential of the GND pin below the minimum potential at all times.
3) Thermal Design
Work out the thermal design with sufficient margin taking power dissipation (Pd) in the actual operation condition into
account.
4) Short Circuit between Pins and Incorrect Mounting
Attention to IC direction or displacement is required when installing the IC on a PCB. If the IC is installed in the wrong
way, it may break. Also, the threat of destruction from short-circuits exists if foreign matter invades between outputs or the
output and GND of the power supply.
5) Operation under Strong Electromagnetic Field
Be careful of possible malfunctions under strong electromagnetic fields.
6) Common Impedance
When providing a power supply and GND wirings, show sufficient consideration for lowering common impedance and
reducing ripple (i.e., using thick short wiring, cutting ripple down by LC, etc.) as much as you can.
7) Thermal Protection Circuit (TSD Circuit)
This IC contains a thermal protection circuit (TSD circuit). The TSD circuit serves to shut off the IC from thermal runaway
and does not aim to protect or assure operation of the IC itself. Therefore, do not use the TSD circuit for continuous use
or operation after the circuit has tripped.
8) Rush Current at the Time of Power Activation
Be careful of the power supply coupling capacity and the width of the power supply and GND pattern wiring and routing
since rush current flows instantaneously at the time of power activation in the case of CMOS IC or ICs with multiple
power supplies.
) IC Terminal Input
9
This is a monolithic IC and has P+ isolation and a P substrate for element isolation between each element. P-N junctions
are formed and various parasitic elements are configured using these P layers and N layers of the individual elements.
For example, if a resistor and transistor are connected to a terminal as shown on Fig.30:
○The P-N junction operates as a parasitic diode when GND > (Terminal A) in the case of a resistor or
when GND > (Pin B) in the case of a transistor (NPN)
○Also, a parasitic NPN transistor operates using the N layer of another element adjacent to the previous diode in
the case of a transistor (NPN) when GND > (Pin B).
The parasitic element consequently rises under the potential relationship because of the IC’s structure. The parasitic
element pulls interference that could cause malfunctions or destruction out of the circuit. Therefore, use caution to avoid
the operation of parasitic elements caused by applying voltage to an input terminal lower than the GND (P board), etc.
