General Description
Features
The AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 are high efficiency,
easy to use, 3A synchronous buck regulators at fixed
switching frequency for small form factor solution. Both
AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 work from 4.5V to 18V
input voltage range, and provides up to 3A of continuous
output current with an output voltage adjustable down to
0.6V.
4.5V to 18V operating input voltage range
The AOZ6663DI features fixed frequency operation at
heavy load and Pulse Energy Mode (PEM) at light load,
providing best efficiency across whole load range.

AOZ6663DI/AOZ6663DI-01
Detailed Description
The AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 are current-mode
step down regulator with integrated High-Side and LowSide power switches. The regulator operates from 4.5V
to 18V input voltage range and supplies up to 3A of load
current. Functional features such as enable control rated
up to VIN, Power-On Reset (POR), input Under-Voltage
Lockout (UVLO), output Over Voltage Protection (OVP),
internal soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and Overtemperature Protection (OTP) are built in. Both
AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 are available in
DFN3x3-8L package.
Enable and Soft Start
Both AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 have internal soft
start feature to limit the in-rush current and ensure the
output voltage ramps up smoothly to regulation voltage
during start up. A soft start process begins when the input
voltage rises above 4.1V and voltage on EN pin is higher
than 2V. The soft start time is pre-programmed to 3.5ms
typical.
The EN pin of the regulator is active high. The voltage at
EN pin must be above 2V to enable the device. When the
voltage at EN pin falls below 0.6V, the device is disabled.
To ensure proper operation, EN pin must be biased to
solid voltage level in either enable or disable state. EN
pin is rated up to VIN voltage. This feature allows for
simple design with EN pin directly tied to VIN to minimize
component count and system complexity, if no enable
control signal is available.
Steady-State Operation
Under heavy load steady-state conditions, the converter
operates in fixed frequency and Continuous-Conduction
Mode (CCM).
Both AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 are using current
mode control for regulation. Inductor current is sensed
through the current being conducted by the power
MOSFET. Output voltage is determined by the external
voltage divider between VOUT, FB, and GND. The
difference of the FB voltage and internal reference
voltage is amplified by the transconductance error
amplifier. The error voltage is compared against the
current signal (sum of inductor current signal and input
ramp compensation signal) at PWM comparator stage. If
the current signal is less than the error voltage, the highside switch is turned on. The inductor current flows from
the VIN through the inductor to the VOUT. When the
current signal exceeds the error voltage, the High-Side
switch is turned off. The inductor current is freewheeling
through the Low-Side switch from GND to VOUT.
Rev. 1.0 October 2020
The internal adaptive gate drivers guarantee no turn on
overlap between High-Side and Low-Side switches to
prevent any shoot-through condition.
Comparing with non-synchronous converters using
freewheeling Schottky diodes, the AOZ6663DI and
AOZ6663DI-01 use synchronous power switch to greatly
improve the converter efficiency by reducing power loss
in the Low-Side switch.
Light Load Operation
Under low output current settings, the AOZ6663DI will
operate with pulse energy mode (PEM) to obtain high
efficiency. The main goal of PEM is to reduce the
switching loss as it is the main source of energy loss at
low load. Under this mode, the High-Side switch will not
turn off until its on-time reaches a controlled duration
which is determined by input voltage (VIN), output
voltage (VOUT), and switching frequency (fO). The LowSide switch will be turned off eventually when inductor
current is close to 0A. Both switches are off and LX is in
high impedance state until VOUT drops to a predetermined level and more energy is needed to bring the
VOUT back to regulated voltage. The High-Side switch
will then be turned on at the beginning of the clock cycle.
For low noise audio applications, the AOZ6663DI-01
version operates in Discontinuous Current Mode (DCM)
in light load but yet to maintain nominal switching
frequency when VOUT is set to lower than 4V. In this
mode, device operation still follows the mechanism
mentioned in ‘Steady-State Operation’ section. However,
the Low-Side switch will be on until inductor current
ramps down to 0A. Then both High-Side and Low-Side
switches will be held off until the next clock cycle.
Typical system has a 5V main bus which would require
the light load mode in standby to meet the energy
efficiency requirement. AOZ6663DI-01 is designed for
this system application as it would go to PEM when
VOUT is set to higher than 4V. One single AOZ6663DI01 can support multiple power rails in a system for both
always on main bus and power off sub-rails at standby.
Bootstrap Supply for High-side Switch
This converter uses a N-Channel MOSFET as the HighSide switch. Since the N-Channel MOSFET requires a
gate voltage higher than the input voltage to turn on, a
bootstrap capacitor is needed between LX pin (Pin 2) and
BST pin (Pin 8) to drive the gate of the MOSFET. The
boost capacitor is being charged while LX is low. Typical
0.1µF capacitor is recommended for most applications.

Application Information
Output voltage (VOUT) can be set by feeding back the
VOUT to the FB pin through a resistor divider network as
shown in Figure 1. Design starts by selecting a fixed R2
value and then calculates the required R1 using the
equation below:
R1
V OUT = FB 1 + -------
R2
(1)
Combination of R1 and R2 should be large enough to
avoid drawing excessive current from the output, which
will cause power loss. Some standard value of R1, R2
and most used output voltage values are listed in Table 1.

For any output voltage setting, minimum input voltage
supported by AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 is
governed by maximum duty cycle allowed by the
regulator. Maximum duty cycle is input voltage
dependent, where it decreases as VIN goes lower. The
minimum input voltage required for certain output voltage
setting is shown in Figure 2.

Protection Features
Both AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 has multiple
protection features to prevent system circuit damage
under abnormal conditions.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The output current from LX pin is being monitored cycle
by cycle. If the output current exceeds the preset limit,
the switch will be turned off to prevent excessive power
being dissipated by the converter. If output drops to
certain level during OC condition, the part will shut down
and auto restart with hiccup mode.
Power-On Reset (POR)
A power-on reset circuit monitors the VIN voltage. When
the VIN voltage exceeds 4.1V, the converter starts to
operate if EN > 2V. When VIN voltage falls below 3.7V,
the converter will be shut down.
Thermal Protection
An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction
temperature. It shuts down the internal control circuit and
both High-Side and Low-Side switches if the junction
temperature exceeds 150ºC. The regulator will restart
automatically under the control of soft-start circuit when
the junction temperature decreases to 120ºC.

Output Voltage Programming
The input capacitor must be connected to the VIN pin
and GND pin to maintain steady input voltage and filter
out the pulsing input current. The voltage rating of input
capacitor must be greater than maximum input voltage
plus ripple voltage.
The input ripple voltage can be approximated by
equation below:
V OUT V OUT
I OUT
V IN = -------------------- 1 – -------------- -------------f o C IN
V IN
V IN
(2)
Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck
converter, the current stress on the input capacitor is
another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a buck
circuit, the RMS value of input capacitor current can be
calculated by:
V OUT

Page 10 of 17
AOZ6663DI/AOZ6663DI-01
The relation between the input capacitor RMS current
and voltage conversion ratio is calculated and shown in
Figure 3 below. It can be seen that when VOUT is half of
VIN, CIN is under the worst current stress. The worst
current stress on CIN is 0.5·IOUT.
0.5
ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also
reduces RMS current through inductor and switches,
which results in less conduction loss. Usually, peak to
peak ripple current on inductor is designed to be 20% to
40% of output current.
When selecting the inductor, make sure it is able to
handle the peak current without saturation even at the
highest operating temperature.

Figure 3. ICIN vs. Voltage Conversion Ratio
For reliable operation and best performance, the input
capacitors must have current rating higher than ICIN-RMS
at worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are
preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR
and high current rating. Depending on the application
circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitor may also be
used. When selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R
type dielectric ceramic capacitors should be used for
their better temperature and voltage characteristics. Note
that the ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures
are based on certain amount of life time. Further derating may be necessary in practical design.
Inductor
The inductor is used to supply constant current to output
when it is driven by a switching voltage. For given input
and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency
together decide the inductor ripple current, which is:
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output
voltage rating, output ripple voltage specification and
ripple current rating.
The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated
voltage specification than the maximum desired output
voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be
considered for long term reliability.
Output ripple voltage specification is another important
factor for selecting the output capacitor. In a buck
converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by
inductor value, switching frequency, output capacitor
value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation
below:
1
V OUT = I L ESR C2 + ---------------------------
8f C

where C2 is output capacitor value and ESRC2 is the

The peak inductor current is:
I L
I Lpeak = I OUT + -------2
When low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as output
capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor at the
switching frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly
caused by capacitor value and inductor ripple current.
The output ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to:
1
V OUT = I L --------------------------8f C

(6)
(8)

If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency
dominates, the output ripple voltage is mainly decided by
High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but
requires larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low

capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output
ripple voltage calculation can be further simplified to:
V OUT = I L ESR C 2
(9)
For lower output ripple voltage across the entire
operating temperature range, X5R or X7R dielectric type
of ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum are recommended
to be used as output capacitors.
In a buck converter, output capacitor current is
continuous. The RMS current of output capacitor is
decided by the peak to peak inductor ripple current. It can
be calculated by:
The compensation design is actually to shape the
converter control loop transfer function to get desired
gain and phase. Several different types of compensation
network can be used. For most cases, a series capacitor
and resistor network connected to the COMP pin sets the
pole and zero and it is adequate for a stable high
bandwidth control loop.
Using the series R and C compensation network
connected to COMP provides one pole and one zero.
The pole is:
G EA
f p 2 = ---------------------------------------2 C C G VEA
(13)
Where GEA is the error amplifier transconductance,
(260µA/V);
I L
I CO_RMS = ---------12
Cc is compensation capacitor in Figure1;
Usually, the ripple current rating of the output capacitor is
a smaller issue because of the low current stress. When
the buck inductor is selected to be very small and
inductor ripple current is high, output capacitor could be
overstressed.
Loop Compensation
Both AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 employ peak
current mode control for easy use and fast transient
response. Peak current mode control eliminates the
double pole effect of the output L&C filter. It greatly
simplifies the compensation loop design.
With peak current mode control, the buck power stage
can be simplified to be a one-pole and one-zero system
in frequency domain. The pole is dominant pole can be
calculated by:
1
f p 1 = --------------------------------2 C 2 RL
(11)
The zero is a ESR zero due to output capacitor and its
ESR. It is can be calculated by:

capacitor Cc and resistor Rc, is located at:
1
f z 2 = --------------------------------2 CC RC
To design the compensation circuit, a target crossover
frequency fC for close loop must be selected. The system
crossover frequency is where control loop has unity gain.
The crossover is the also called the converter bandwidth.
Generally, a higher bandwidth means faster response to
load transient. However, the bandwidth should not be too
high because of system stability concern. When
designing the compensation loop, converter stability
under all line and load condition must be considered.
Usually, it is recommended to set the bandwidth to be
equal or less than 1/10 of switching frequency.
The strategy for choosing RC and CC is to set the cross
over frequency with RC and set the compensator zero
with CC. Using selected crossover frequency, fC, to
calculate RC:

GCS is the current sense circuit
transconductance, which is (4.45A/V);
The compensation capacitor Cc and resistor Rc together
make a zero. This zero is put somewhere close to the
dominate pole fP1 but lower than 1/5 of selected
crossover frequency. CC can is selected by:
Equation above can also be simplified to:

Thermal Management and Layout
Consideration
In the AOZ6663DI and AOZ6663DI-01 buck regulator
circuit, high pulsing current flows through two circuit
loops. The first loop starts from the input capacitors, to
the VIN pin, to the LX pad, to the filter inductor, to the
output capacitor and load, and then return to the input
capacitor through ground. Current flows in the first loop
when the High-Side switch is on. The second loop starts
from inductor, to the output capacitors and load, to the
Low-Side switch. Current flows in the second loop when
the Low-Side switch is on.
In PCB layout, minimizing the two loops area reduces the
noise of this circuit and improves efficiency. A ground
plane is strongly recommended to connect input
capacitor, output capacitor, and GND pin of the regulator.
In the buck regulator application, the major power
dissipating components are the AOZ6663DI or
AOZ6663DI-01 and the output inductor. The total power
dissipation of converter circuit can be measured by input
power minus output power.
(17)
P total_loss = V IN I IN – V OUT I OUT
The power dissipation of inductor can be approximately
calculated by output current and DCR of inductor.
P inductor_loss = I
OUT

R inductor 1.1
(18)
The actual junction temperature can be calculated with
power dissipation in the AOZ6663DI or AOZ6663DI-01
and thermal impedance from junction to ambient.
T junction = P total_loss – P inductor_loss JA + T A
(19)
The thermal performance of the AOZ6663DI or
AOZ6663DI-01 is strongly affected by the PCB layout.
Extra care should be taken by users during design
process to ensure that the IC will operate under the
recommended environmental conditions.
The maximum junction temperature of the regulator is
150ºC, which limits the maximum load current capability.

Layout Consideration
Both AOZ6663DI and AOZ662DI-01 are using exposed
pad DFN3X3 package. Several layout tips are listed
below for the best electric and thermal performance.
3. Input capacitor should be connected to the VIN pin
and the GND pin as close as possible.
4. Make the current trace from LX pins to L1 to C2 to
the GND as short as possible.
1. The exposed thermal pad has to connect to ground
by PCB externally. Connect a large copper plane to
exposed thermal pad to help thermal dissipation.
5. Pour copper plane on all unused board area and
connect it to stable DC nodes, like VIN, GND or
VOUT
2. Do not use thermal relief connection to the VIN and
the GND pin. Pour a maximized copper area to the
GND pin and the VIN pin to help thermal dissipation.
6. Keep sensitive signal trace far away from the LX pad.
