Input Supply Pin. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches.
Drive IN with a 4.5V to 30V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor
to minimize input ripple to the IC. See Input Capacitor Section of the applications notes.
Power Switching Output. Connect the output LC filter from SW to the output load.
Ground.
Output Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage and regulates it. Drive FB with a resistive
voltage divider connected to it from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is 0.923V.
See Setting the Output Voltage.
Loop compensation Input. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND to compensate
the regulation control loop. See Compensation.
Enable Input. EN is a logic input that controls the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on
the regulator; low to turn it off. Don’t leave EN pin floating. Directly connect EN to IN (or
through a resistance) for automatic startup.
Soft-Start Control Input. Connect an external capacitor to program the soft-start. If unused,
leave it open, which means internal soft-start function.

EUP3482
Functional Description
Inductor
The EUP3482 regulates input voltages from 4.5V to
30V down to an output voltage as low as 0.923V, and
supplies up to 2A of load current.
The EUP3482 uses current-mode control to regulate the
output voltage. The output voltage is measured at FB
through a resistive voltage divider and amplified
through the internal transconductance error amplifier.
The voltage at the COMP pin is compared to the switch
current (measured internally) to control the output
voltage.
The converter uses internal N-Channel MOSFET
switches to step-down the input voltage to the regulated
output voltage. Since the high side MOSFET requires a
gate voltage greater than the input voltage, a boost
capacitor connected between SW and BS is needed to
drive the high side gate. The boost capacitor is charged
from the internal 5V rail when SW is low.
When the FB pin voltage exceeds 15% of the nominal
regulation value of 0.923V, the over voltage
comparator is tripped and forcing the high-side switch
off.
The inductor is required to supply constant current to
the load while being driven by the switched input
voltage. A larger value inductor will result in less ripple
current that will in turn result in lower output ripple
voltage. However, the larger value inductor will have a
larger physical size, higher series resistance, and/or
lower saturation current. A good rule for determining
inductance is to allow the peak-to-peak ripple current
to be approximately 30% of the maximum switch
current limit. Also, make sure that the peak inductor
current is below the maximum switch current limit.
The inductance value can be calculated by:
V

f ∗ ∆I

Where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the input
voltage, fS is the switching frequency, and ∆IL is the
peak-to-peak inductor ripple current.
Choose an inductor that will not saturate under the
maximum inductor peak current, calculated by:

Where ILOAD is the load current.
The choice of which style inductor to use mainly
depends on the price vs. size requirements and any
EMI constraints.
Optional Schottky Diode
During the transition between the high-side switch and
low-side switch, the body diode of the low-side power
MOSFET conducts the inductor current. The forward
voltage of this body diode may be high and cause
efficiency loss. An optional small 1A Schottky diode
B130 in parallel with low-side switch is recommended
to improve overall efficiency when input voltage is
higher.
Input Capacitor
The input current to the step-down converter is
discontinuous, therefore a capacitor is required to
supply the AC current while maintaining the DC input
voltage. Use low ESR capacitors for the best
performance. Ceramic capacitors are preferred, but
tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors will also
suffice. Choose X5R or X7R dielectrics when using
ceramic capacitors.
Since the input capacitor (C1) absorbs the input
switching current, it requires an adequate ripple current
rating. The RMS current in the input capacitor can be
estimated by:

Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set using a resistive voltage
divider connected from the output voltage to FB. The
voltage divider divides the output voltage down to the
feedback voltage by the ratio:
R2
VFB = VOUT
R1 + R2
Thus the output voltage is:
R1 + R 2
VOUT = 0.923 ∗
R2
R2 can be as high as 100kΩ, but a typical value is
10kΩ. Using the typical value for R2, R1 is determined
by:
(
)
R1 = 10 .83 ∗ VOUT − 0.923 (kΩ)
For example, for a 3.3V output voltage, R2 is 10kΩ
and R1 is 26.1kΩ. Table1 lists recommended resistance
values of R1 and R2 for standard output voltages.

The characteristics of the output capacitor also affect
the stability of the regulation system. The EUP3482
can be optimized for a wide range of capacitance and
ESR values.
The worst-case condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT, where
IC1 = ILOAD/2. For simplification, use an input capacitor
with a RMS current rating greater than half of the
maximum load current.
The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum or
ceramic. When using electrolytic or tantalum capacitors,
a small, high quality ceramic capacitor, i.e. 0.1µF,
should be placed as close to the IC as possible. When
using ceramic capacitors, make sure that they have
enough capacitance to provide sufficient charge to
prevent excessive voltage ripple at input. The input
voltage ripple for low ESR capacitors can be estimated
by:

Where C1 is the input capacitance value.
Compensation Components
EUP3482 employs current mode control for easy
compensation and fast transient response. The system
stability and transient response are controlled through
the COMP pin. COMP is the output of the internal
transconductance error amplifier. A series capacitorresistor combination sets a pole-zero combination to
govern the characteristics of the control system.
The DC gain of the voltage feedback loop is given by:
V
A VDC = R LOAD ∗ G CS ∗ A EA ∗ FB
VOUT
For simplification, choose the input capacitor whose
RMS current rating greater than half of the maximum
load current.
Where VFB is the feedback voltage (0.923V), AVEA is
the error amplifier voltage gain, GCS is the current
sense transconductance and RLOAD is the load resistor
value.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor (C2) is required to maintain the
DC output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum, or low ESR
electrolytic capacitors are recommended. Low ESR
capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage
ripple low. The output voltage ripple can be estimated
by:

If this is the case, then add the second compensation
capacitor (C4) to set the pole fP3 at the location of the

The goal of compensation design is to shape the
converter transfer function to get a desired loop gain.
The system crossover frequency where the feedback
loop has the unity gain is important. Lower crossover
frequencies result in slower line and load transient
responses, while higher crossover frequencies could
cause the system instability. A good standard is to set
the crossover frequency below one-tenth of the
switching frequency.
To optimize the compensation components, the
following procedure can be used:
1. Choose the compensation resistor (R3) to set the
desired crossover frequency.
