The BL9382C guarantees robust performance from -40°C to 150°C junction temperature. The junction temperature
range specification is assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The BL9382C includes thermal protection that is intended to protect the device in overload conditions. Thermal
protection is active when junction temperature exceeds the maximum operating junction temperature. Continuous
operation over the specified absolute maximum operating junction temperature may damage the device.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Vin Under-Voltage Protection
The BL9382C is a synchronous, buck voltage
converter.
A resistive divider can be connected between
Vin and ground, with the central tap connected
to EN, so that when Vin drops to the pre-set
value, EN drops below 1.2V to trigger input
under voltage lockout protection.
Current-Mode Control
The BL9382C utilizes current-mode control to
regulate the FB voltage. Voltage at the FB pin is
regulated at 0.923V so that by connecting an
appropriate resistor divider between VOUT and
GND, designed output voltage can be achieved.
Output Current Run-Away Protection
At start-up, due to the high voltage at input and
low voltage at output, current inertia of the
output inductance can be easily built up,
resulting in a large start-up output current. A
valley current limit is designed in the BL9382C
so that only when output current drops below
the valley current limit can the bottom power
switch be turned off. By such control
mechanism, the output current at start-up is well
controlled.
PFM Mode
The BL9382C operates in PFM mode at light
load. In PFM mode, switch frequency is
continuously controlled in proportion to the load
current, i.e. switch frequency is decreased when
load current drops to boost power efficiency at
light load by reducing switch-loss, while switch
frequency is increased when load current rises,
minimizing both load current and output voltage
ripples.
Over Current Protection and Hiccup
Internal Soft-Start.
BL9382C has a cycle-by-cycle current limit.
When the inductor current triggers current limit,
BL9382C enters hiccup mode and periodically
restart the chip. BL9382C will exit hiccup
mode while not triggering current limit.
Soft-start makes output voltage rising smoothly
by following an internal SS voltage until SS
voltage is higher than the internal reference
voltage. It can prevent the overshoot of output
voltage during startup.
Short Circuit Protection
Power Switch
If a current higher than 5A is detected through
TOP FET when it’s on, we consider SW is
shorted to GND. The chip stops switching for
few cycles and switch once to check whether
SW is still shorted to GND. This cycle will be
repeated until SW is not shorted to GND.
N-Channel MOSFET switches are integrated on
the BL9382C to down convert the input voltage
to the regulated output voltage. Since the top
MOSFET needs a gate voltage greater than the
input voltage, a boost capacitor connected
between BST and SW pins is required to drive
the gate of the top switch. The boost capacitor is
charged by the internal 3.3V rail when SW is
low.
www.belling.com.cn
If FB voltage is detected lower than 100mV for
few cycles and chip triggers current limit
meanwhile, FB pin is considered shorted to
GND. The chip won’t switching unless restart.

Thermal Protection
When the temperature of the BL9382C rises
above 140°C, it is forced into thermal
shut-down.

Only when core temperature drops below 130°C
can the regulator becomes active again.
