High Efficiency, Synchronous Step-Up & Down DC / DC Controller ICs
■GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XC9303 series is highly efficient, synchronous PWM, PWM/PFM switchable step-up & down DC/DC controller ICs.
A versatile, large output current and high efficiency, step-up/down DC/DC controller can be realized using only basic
external components - transistors, coil, diode, capacitors, and resistors for detecting voltages. High efficiency is obtained
through the use of a synchronous rectification topology. The operation of the XC9303 series can be switched between PWM
and PWM/PFM (auto switching) externally using the PWM pin. In PWM/PFM mode, the XC9303 automatically switches
from PWM to PFM during light loads and high efficiencies can be achieved over a wide range of output loads conditions.
Output noise can be easily reduced with PWM control since the frequency is fixed. Synchronous rectification control can be
switched to non-synchronous by using external signals (MODE pin). High efficiency can be regulated at heavy loads when
synchronous operation. The XC9303 has a 0.9V (±2.0%) internal voltage supply and using externally connected
components, output voltage can be set freely between 2.0V to 6.0V. With an internal 300kHz switching frequency smaller
external components can be used. Soft-start time is internally set to 10ms and offers protection against in-rush currents
when the power is switched on and prevents voltage overshoot.

resistance drivers.
<Error Amp.>
The error amplifier is designed to monitor the output voltage and it compares the feedback voltage (FB) with the reference
voltage. In response to feedback of a voltage lower than the reference voltage, the output voltage of the error amp.
decreases.
<OSC Generator>
This circuit generates the oscillation frequency, which in turn generates the source clock.
<Ramp Wave Generator>
The ramp wave generator generates a saw-tooth waveform based on outputs from the phase shift generator.
<PWM Comparator>
The PWM Comparator compares outputs from the error amp. and saw-tooth waveform. When the voltage from the error
amp's output is low, the external switch will be set to ON.
<PWM/PFM Controller>
This circuit generates PFM pulses. Control can be switched between PWM control and PWM/PFM automatic switching
control using external signals. The PWM/PFM automatic switching mode is selected when the voltage of the PWM pin is less
than 0.2V, and the control switches between PWM and PFM automatically depending on the load. As the PFM circuit
generates pulses based on outputs from the PWM comparator, shifting between modes occurs smoothly. PWM control mode
is selected when the voltage of the PWM pin is more than 0.65V. Noise is easily reduced with PWM control since the switching
frequency is fixed. Control suited to the application can easily be selected which is useful in audio applications, for example,
where traditionally, efficiencies have been sacrificed during stand-by as a result of using PWM control (due to the noise
problems associated with the PFM mode in stand-by).
<Synchronous, blank logic>
The synchronous, blank logic circuit is to prevent penetration of the transistor connected to EXT1 and EXT2.
<Vref with Soft Start>
The reference voltage, Vref (FB pin voltage)=0.9V, is adjusted and fixed by laser trimming (for output voltage settings, please
refer to next page). To protect against inrush current, when the power is switched on, and also to protect against voltage
overshoot, soft-start time is set internally to 10ms. It should be noted, however, that this circuit does not protect the load
capacitor (C
maintains a balance between the two inputs of the error amps and controls the EXT pin's ON time so that it doesn't increase
more than is necessary.
<Chip Enable Function>
This function controls the operation and shutdown of the IC. When the voltage of the CE pin is 0.2V or less, the mode will be
chip disable, the channel's operations will stop. The EXT1 pin will be kept at a high level (the external P-ch MOSFET will be
OFF) and the EXT2 pin will be kept at a high level (the external N-ch MOSFET will be ON). When CE pin is in a state of chip
disable, current consumption will be no more than 3.0μA. When the CE pin's voltage is 0.65V or more, the mode will be chip
enable and operations will recommence. With soft-start, 95% of the set output voltage will be reached within 10ms (TYP.)
from the moment of chip enable.
<Output Voltage Setting>
Output voltage can be set by adding external split resistors. Output voltage is determined by the following equation, based on
the values of R
The value of CFB1(CFB2), speed-up capacitor for phase compensation, should be fzfb= 1 / (2
to 12kHz. Adjustments are required from 1kHz to 50kHz depending on the application, value of inductance (L), and value of load
capacity (C
L) from inrush current. With the Vref voltage limited and depending upon the input to the error amps, the operation

1. PWM/PFM Automatic Switching
If PWM/PFM automatic switching control is selected and the step-down ratio is high (e.g., from 10 V to 1.0 V), the control
mode remains in PFM setting over the whole load range, since the duty ratio under continuous-duty condition is smaller
than the PFM duty ratio of the XC9303 series. The output voltage's ripple voltage becomes substantially high under heavy
load conditions, with the XC9303 series appearing to be producing an abnormal oscillation. If this operation becomes a
concern, set pins PWM1 and PWM2 to High to set the control mode to PWM setting.
2. Ratings
Use the XC9303 series and peripheral components within the limits of their ratings.
3. Notes on How to Select Transistor
Synchronous rectification operation prepares fixed time when switching changes so that the high side P-ch MOSFET and
the low side N-ch MOSFET do not oscillate simultaneously. Also it is designed to prevent the penetration current when the
both MOSFET oscillate at the same time. However, some MOSFET may oscillate simultaneously and worsen efficiency.
Please select MOSFET with high Vth with small input capacity on high side P-ch MOSFET and the low side N-ch MOSFET.
(When using with large current, please note that there is a tendency for ON resistance to become large when the input
capacity of MOSFET is small and Vth is high.)
<The check method of whether selected MOSFET is oscillating simultaneously>
In order to check that MOSFET is not oscillating simultaneously, please observe Lx terminal waveform of coil current at the
time of the continuation mode. If the MOSFET parasitism diode waveform on Lx terminal waveform can be formed in the
period EXT 1 is 'H' and EXT2 is 'L', it can be thought that MOSFETs are not oscillating simultaneously.
4. Instruction on Layout
(1) The performance of the XC9303 DC/DC converter is greatly influenced by not only its own characteristics, but also by
those of the external components it is used with. We recommend that you refer to the specifications of each
component to be used and take sufficient care when selecting components.
(2) Please mount each external component as close to the IC as possible. Wire external components as close to the IC as
possible and use thick, short connecting wires to reduce wiring impedance. In particular, minimize the distance
between the EXT2 pin and the Gate pin of the low side N-ch MOSFET. It may decrease efficiency.
(3) Make sure that the GND wiring is as strong as possible as variations in ground potential caused by ground current at the
time of switching may result in unstable operation of the IC. Specifically, strengthen the ground wiring in the proximity
of the V
(4) For stable operation, please connect by-pass capacitor between the V
