NOTES:
8) The recommended parameters are based on an 800 kHz
switching frequency; a different input voltage, output inductor
value, and output capacitor value may affect the selection of
R1, R2, and Rt. For additional component parameters, please
refer to the “Typical Application Circuits” section on page 17
and page 18.
Selecting the Inductor
Use an inductor (1 µH to 22 µH) with a DC
current rating at least 25 percent higher than
the maximum load current for most applications.
For highest efficiency, use an inductor with a
DC resistance less than 15 mΩ. For most
designs, the inductance value can be derived
from Equation (3):
MP2235S Rev.1.0
4/15/2015
L1 =
VOUT × (VIN − VOUT )
VIN × ΔIL × fOSC
(3)
Where ΔIL is the inductor ripple current.
Choose the inductor ripple current to be
approximately 30 percent of the maximum load
current. The maximum inductor peak current is
calculated using Equation (4):
IL(MAX) = ILOAD +
ΔIL
2
(4)
Use a larger inductor for improved efficiency
under light-load conditions—below 100 mA.
Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input current to the step-down converter is
discontinuous, therefore it requires a capacitor
to supply the AC current to the step-down
converter while maintaining the DC input
voltage. Use low ESR capacitors for the best
performance. Use ceramic capacitors with X5R
or X7R dielectrics for best results because of
their low ESR and small temperature
coefficients. For most applications, use a 22 µF
capacitor.
Since C1 absorbs the input switching current, it
requires an adequate ripple current rating. The
RMS current in the input capacitor can be
estimated using Equation (5) and Equation (6):
I C1 = ILOAD ×
VOUT ⎛⎜ VOUT
× 1−
VIN ⎜⎝
VIN
⎞
⎟
⎟
⎠
(5)
The worst case condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT,
where:
IC1 =
ILOAD
2
(6)
For simplification, choose an input capacitor
with an 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, add a small, high-quality ceramic
capacitor (e.g. 0.1 μF) placed as close to the IC
as possible. When using ceramic capacitors,

make sure that they have enough capacitance
to provide sufficient charge in order to prevent
excessive voltage ripple at the input. The input
voltage ripple caused by capacitance can be
estimated using Equation (7):
ΔVIN =
⎛
⎞
ILOAD
V
V
× OUT × ⎜ 1 − OUT ⎟
fS × C1 VIN ⎝
VIN ⎠
(7)
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor (C2) maintains the DC
output voltage. Use ceramic, tantalum, or low
ESR electrolytic capacitors. For best results,
use low ESR capacitors to keep the output
voltage ripple low. The output voltage ripple can
be estimated with Equation (8):
ΔVOUT =
⎞
VOUT ⎛ VOUT ⎞ ⎛
1
× ⎜1 −
⎟
⎟ × ⎜ RESR +
fS × L1 ⎝
VIN ⎠ ⎝
8 × fS × C2 ⎠
(8)
Where L1 is the inductor value and RESR is the
equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the
output capacitor.
For ceramic capacitors, the capacitance
dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency, and the capacitance causes the
majority of the output voltage ripple. For
simplification, the output voltage ripple can be
estimated with Equation (9):
ΔVOUT =
⎛ V ⎞
VOUT
× ⎜ 1 − OUT ⎟
VIN ⎠
8 × fS × L1 × C2 ⎝
2
(9)
For tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ESR
dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency. For simplification, the output ripple
can be approximated with Equation (10):
ΔVOUT
V
V
⎛
= OUT × ⎜ 1 − OUT
fS × L1 ⎝
VIN

⎟ × RESR

External Bootstrap Diode
In particular conditions, the BST voltage may
become insufficient. During these conditions, an
external bootstrap diode can enhance the
efficiency of the regulator and avoid insufficient
BST voltage at light-load PFM operation.
Insufficient BST voltage is more likely to occur
during either of the following conditions:
MP2235S Rev.1.0
4/15/2015
VOUT is 5 V or 3.3 V; or
z
the duty cycle is high: D=
VOUT
>65%
VIN
If the BST voltage is insufficient, the output
ripple voltage may become extremely large
during a light-load condition. If this occurs, add
an external BST diode from VCC to BST (see
Figure 8).
MP2235S
Figure 8—Optional external bootstrap diode to
enhance efficiency
The recommended external BST diode is
IN4148, and the BST capacitor value is 0.1 µF
to 1 μF.
PCB Layout Guidelines (9)
Efficient PCB layout is critical to achieve stable
operation, especially for VCC capacitor and
input capacitor placement. For best results,
refer to Figure 9 and follow the guidelines below:
1.
Use a large ground plane directly
connected to GND. Add vias near GND if
the bottom layer is ground plane.
2.
Place the VCC capacitor as close as
possible to the chip VCC and GND. Make
the trace length of VCC pin to the VCC
capacitor anode to the VCC capacitor
cathode to the chip GND as short as
possible.
3.
Place the ceramic input capacitor close to
IN and GND. Keep the connection of the
input capacitor and IN as short and wide as
possible.
4.
Route SW and BST away from sensitive
analog areas such as FB.
5.
Place the T-type feedback resistor (R5)
close to the chip to ensure the trace (which
connects to FB) is as short as possible.
(10)
The characteristics of the output capacitor
affect the stability of the regulation system. The
MP2235S can be optimized for a wide range of
capacitance and ESR values.
