BL8028
1.5A 2MHz 5.5V Synchronous Buck Converter
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The BL8028 is a high-efficiency, DC to DC step-down
switching regulators, capable of delivering up to
1.5A of output current. The device operates from
an input voltage range of 2.6V to 5.5V and provides
an output voltage from 0.6V to VIN. Working at a
fixed frequency of 2MHz allows the use of small
external components, such as ceramic input and
output caps, as well as small inductors, while still
providing low output ripples. This low noise output
along with its excellent efficiency achieved by the
internal synchronous rectifier, making BL8028 an
ideal replacement for large power consuming linear
regulators. Internal soft-start control circuitry
reduces inrush current. Short-circuit and thermal
shutdown protection improves design reliability.
The BL8028 is available in SOT23-5, DFN2x2-6
package.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The BL8028 high-efficiency switching regulator is a
small, simple, DC-to-DC step-down converter
capable of delivering up to 1.5A of output current.
The device operates in pulse-width modulation
(PWM) at 2MHz from a 2.6V to 5.5V input voltage
and provides an output voltage from 0.6V to VIN,
making the BL8028 ideal for on-board postregulation applications. An internal synchronous
rectifier improves efficiency and eliminates the
typical Schottky free-wheeling diode. Using the on
resistance of the internal high-side MOSFET to
sense switching currents eliminates current-sense
resistors, further improving efficiency and cost.
compensation ramp. At each rising edge of the
internal clock, the internal high-side MOSFET turns
on until the PWM comparator terminates the on
cycle. During this on-time, current ramps up
through the inductor, sourcing current to the
output and storing energy in the inductor. The
current mode feedback system regulates the peak
inductor current as a function of the output voltage
error signal. During the off cycle, the internal highside P-channel MOSFET turns off, and the internal
low-side N-channel MOSFET turns on. The inductor
releases the stored energy as its current ramps
down while still providing current to the output.
Loop operation
Current sense
BL8028 uses a PWM current-mode control scheme.
An open-loop comparator compares the integrated
voltage-feedback signal against the sum of the
amplified current-sense signal and the slope
An internal current-sense amplifier senses the
current through the high-side MOSFET during on
time and produces a proportional current signal,
which is used to sum with the slope compensation

signal. The summed signal then is compared with
the error amplifier output by the PWM comparator
to terminate the on cycle.
Current limit
There is a cycle-by-cycle current limit on the highside MOSFET of 2.3A (typ). When the current
flowing out of SW exceeds this limit, the high-side
MOSFET turns off and the synchronous rectifier
turns on. BL8028 utilizes a frequency fold-back
mode to prevent overheating during short-circuit
output conditions. The device enters frequency
fold-back mode when the FB voltage drops below
100mV, limiting the current to 2.3A (typ) and
reducing power dissipation. Normal operation
resumes upon removal of the short-circuit
condition.
Soft-start
BL8028 has an internal soft-start circuitry to reduce
supply inrush current during startup conditions.
When the device exits under-voltage lockout
(UVLO), shutdown mode, or restarts following a
thermal shutdown event, the soft-start circuitry
slowly ramps up current available at SW.
UVLO
If VIN drops below 2.1V, the UVLO circuit inhibits
switching. Once VIN rises above 2.2V, the UVLO
clears, and the soft-start sequence activates.
Thermal shutdown
Thermal shutdown protection limits total power
dissipation in the device. When the junction
temperature exceeds TJ= +160°C, a thermal sensor
forces the device into shutdown, allowing the die to
cool. The thermal sensor turns the device on again
after the junction temperature cools by 15°C,
resulting in a pulsed output during continuous
overload conditions. Following a thermal-shutdown
condition, the soft-start sequence begins.
DESIGN PROCEDURE
Setting output voltages
Output voltages are set by external resistors. The
FB threshold is 0.6V.

Input capacitor selection
The input capacitor in a DC-to-DC converter reduces
current peaks drawn from the battery or other
input power source and reduces switching noise in
the controller. The impedance of the input
capacitor at the switching frequency should be less
than that of the input source so high-frequency
switching currents do not pass through the input
source. The output capacitor keeps output ripple
small and ensures control-loop stability. The output
capacitor must also have low impedance at the

tantalum capacitors are suitable, with ceramic
exhibiting the lowest ESR and high-frequency
impedance. Output ripple with a ceramic output
capacitor is approximately as follows:
