BL8033
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
starts first, generating stable reference voltage and
currents, and then the internal regulator is enabled.
The regulator provides stable supply for the
remaining circuitries. Three events can shut down
the chip: EN low, VIN low and thermal shutdown.
In the shutdown procedure, the signaling path is
first blocked to avoid any fault triggering. The
COMP voltage and the internal supply rail are then
pulled down. The floating driver is not subject to
this shutdown command.
Internal Regulator
The BL8033 is a current mode step down DC/DC
converter that provides excellent transient
response with no extra external compensation
components. This device contains an internal, low
resistance, high voltage power MOSFET, and
operates at a high 500K operating frequency to
ensure a compact, high efficiency design with
excellent AC and DC performance.
Error Amplifier
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage
with the internal FB reference (VFB) and outputs a
current proportional to the difference between the
two. This output current is then used to charge or
discharge the internal compensation network to
form the COMP voltage, which is used to control
the power MOSFET current. The optimized internal
compensation network minimizes the external
component counts and simplifies the control loop
design.
Setting Output Voltages
The external resistor divider is used to set the
output voltage (see Typical Application on page 1).
The feedback resistor R1 also sets the feedback
loop bandwidth with the internal compensation
capacitor. Choose R1 to be around 300kΩ for
optimal transient response. R2 is then given by:
Internal Soft-Start
The soft-start is important for many applications
because it eliminates power-up initialization
problems. The controlled voltage ramp of the
output also reduces peak inrush current during
start-up, minimizing start-up transient events to the
input power bus.
Selecting the Inductor
Over-Current-Protection and Hiccup
Use a 2.2μH-to-10μH inductor with a DC current
rating of at least 25% percent higher than the
maximum load current for most applications. For
highest efficiency, select an inductor with a DC
resistance less than 15mΩ. For most designs,
derive the inductance value from the following
equation.
The BL8033 has a cycle-by-cycle over-current
limit for when the inductor current peak value
exceeds the set current-limit threshold. First,
when the output voltage drops until FB falls
below the Under-Voltage (UV) threshold
(typically 140mV) to trigger a UV event, the
BL8033 enters hiccup mode to periodically restart
the part. This protection mode is especially useful
when the output is dead-shorted to ground. This
greatly reduces the average short-circuit current
to alleviate thermal issues and to protect the
regulator. The BL8033 exits hiccup mode once
the overcurrent condition is removed.
Where ΔIL is the inductor ripple current. Choose
an inductor current approximately 30% of the
maximum load current. The maximum inductor
peak current is:
Startup and Shutdown
Under light-load conditions (below 100mA), use
a larger inductor to improve efficiency.
If both VIN and EN are higher than their appropriate
thresholds, the chip starts. The reference block

ground and GND pin as short and wide as
possible.
2) Keep the connection between the input
capacitor and VIN pin as short and wide as
possible.
3) Use short and direct feedback connections.
Place the feedback resistors and compensation
components as close to the chip as possible.
4) Route SW away from sensitive analog areas
such as FB.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor (C2) maintains the DC
output voltage. Use ceramic, tantalum, or lowESR electrolytic capacitors. Use low ESR
capacitors to limit the output voltage ripple.
Estimate the output voltage ripple with:
Where L is the inductor value and RESR is the
equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output
capacitor.
For ceramic capacitors, the capacitance
dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency and causes most of the output voltage
ripple. For simplification, estimate the output
voltage ripple with:
For tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ESR
dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency. For simplification, the output ripple
can be approximated with:
The characteristics of the output capacitor also
affect the stability of the regulation system. The
BL8033 can be optimized for a wide range of
capacitance and ESR values.
PC BOARD LAYOUT
PCB layout is very important to achieve stable
operation. For best results, use the following
guidelines and figures as reference.
1) Keep the connection between the input
