R1243x Series
30 V Input 2 A Buck DC/DC Converter
No.EA-206-210519
OUTLINE
The R1243x is a CMOS-based step-down DC/DC converter with internal Nch high-side Tr. (0.175 Ω), which
can provide the maximum 2 A output current. Internally, the R1243x consists of an oscillator, a PWM control
circuit, a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, phase compensation circuits, a slope circuit, a soft-start
circuit, protection circuits, internal voltage regulators and a switch for bootstrap circuit. A step-down DC/DC
converter can be configured by only adding an inductor, resistors, a diode and capacitors to the R1243x.
The R1243x is a current mode operating type DC/DC converter that does not require external current sense
resistor. It has high-speed response time and is high efficiency and compatible with ceramic capacitors.
The oscillator frequency of the R1243x001A/B/E is fixed to 1000 kHz. The oscillator frequency of the
R1243x001C/D is fixed 330 kHz.
The R1243x has a cycle-by-cycle peak current limit function, a short protection function, a thermal shutdown
function and an UVLO as protection features. The R1243x001A/C/E has a latch protection with 2 ms delay
time, the R1243x001B/D has a fold-back protection that keep operating during short condition with lower
operating frequency and limiting the LX current. The R1243x has a built-in soft-start time (Typ. 0.4 ms). In
addition to this, the soft-start time is adjustable by adding an external capacitor. The R1243x has the FLG pin,
which mainly monitors the FB pin voltage and gives a flag output by the Nch open drain if the abnormal
condition is detected.
The R1243x is offered in 8-pin HSOP-8E and 10-pin DFN(PLP)2527-10 packages that can achieve high
density mounting.

OPERATING DESCRIPTIONS
SOFT-START TIME ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION AND FLAG FUNCTION
Soft-Start Time Adjustment Function
The soft-start time (tSS) of the R1243x is adjustable by adding the soft-start time adjusting capacitor (CSS) to
the TSS pin. The soft-start time can be set longer than the internal soft-start time (Typ. 0.4 ms).
For example, if the soft-start time adjusting capacitor (CSS) is 0.1µF, the externally adjusted soft-start time will
be 12 ms (Typ.). If there is no need of adjusting the soft-start time, leave the TSS pin as open so that the
internal soft-start time (Typ. 0.4 ms) will be applied.

Flag Function
The R1243x includes a flag output function using Nch open drain. If an abnormal state is detected, the flag
output function turns the Nch transistor on and switches the FLG pin low. After recovering from the abnormal
state, the flag output function turns the Nch transistor off and switches the FLG pin high after recovering from
the low voltage detection (Typ. 0.4 V) and waiting for the delay time (Typ. 0.25 ms). The flag function detects
the following conditions as abnormal states.

OPERATION OF STEP-DOWN DC/DC CONVERTER AND OUTPUT CURRENT
The step-down DC/DC converter stores energy in the inductor (L) when the LX transistor turns on, and releases
energy from L when the LX transistor turns off. This is why it can control with less energy loss and provide a
lower output voltage (VOUT) than the input voltage (VIN). The operation of the step-down DC/DC converter is
explained in the following figures.

Basic Circuit
Inductor Current flowing through Inductor
Step 1. The Nch transistor turns on and the inductor current (i1) flows, L is charged with energy. At this moment,
i1 increases from the minimum inductor current (ILmin), which is 0 A, and reaches the maximum
inductor current (ILmax) in proportion to the on-time period (ton) of the Nch transistor.
Step 2. When the Nch transistor turns off, L tries to maintain IL at ILmax, so L turns the diode on and the
inductor current (i2) flows into L.
Step 3. i2 decreases gradually and reaches ILmin after the open-time period (topen) of the Nch transistor, and
then the diode turns off. This is called discontinuous current mode.
As the output current (IOUT) increases, the off-time period (toff) of the Nch transistor runs out before IL
reaches ILmin. The next cycle starts, and the Nch transistor turns on and the diode turns off, which
means IL starts increasing from ILmin. This is called continuous current mode.
In the case of PWM mode, VOUT is maintained by controlling ton. During PWM mode, the oscillator frequency
(fosc) is being maintained constant.

R1243x001C/D Typical Application
The R1243x includes a flag output function using Nch open drain. If an abnormal state is detected, the flag
output function turns the Nch transistor on and switches the FLG pin low. After recovering from the abnormal
state, the flag output function turns the Nch transistor off and switches the FLG pin high after recovering
from the low voltage detection (Typ. 0.4 V) and waiting for the delay time (Typ. 0.25 ms).
If VOUT is used as VFLGIN, the FLG pin high voltage (VFLGH) will be same voltage level as VOUT even before
the completion of soft-start. When using the soft-start time adjustment in the sequential startup circuits, note
that VFLGH is dependent on VFLGIN (connecting to VOUT directly or using other voltage source).

SEQUENTIAL START-UP
The figure below shows the example of sequential startup circuits using soft-start time adjustment and flag
functions. Where: the input voltage is 12 V, the output voltage of the R1243x001A/B/E (DCDC1) is 5.0 V, the
output voltage of the R1243x001A/B/E (DCDC2) is 3.3 V, the electrolytic capacitor for the 5.0 V output is 470
µF and the electrolytic capacitor for the 3.3 V output is 100 µF. The DCDC1 circuit starts up first followed by
the DCDC2 circuit, so that the output voltage of DCDC1 will not drop below the output voltage of the DCDC2.
Soft-start Time and Charging Current
During the soft-start, the R1243x generates a charging current (ICHRG) for a capacitor connected to VOUT in
addition to the output current (IOUT) for supplying the output load. Therefore, IOUT is given by:
IOUT’ = IOUT + ICHRG = IOUT + VOUT x (COUT + CL) / tSS
IOUT2’ (DCDC1) and IOUT2’ (DCDC2) are given by:
DCDC1: IOUT’ = IOUT + VOUT / (COUT + CL) / tSS = IOUT + 5.0 V x (10 μF + 470 μF) / 26 ms = IOUT + 92 mA
DCDC2: IOUT2’ = IOUT2 + VOUT2 / (COUT2 + CL2) / tSS = IOUT + 3.3 V x (10 μF + 100 μF) / 2.6 ms = IOUT2 + 140 mA
The output current should not exceed 2.0 A even during soft-start.
Using the Output Voltage of DCDC1 as the FLG Pin Voltage of DCDC1
The R1243x includes a flag output function using Nch open drain. If an abnormal condition is detected, the
flag output function turns the Nch transistor on and switches the FLG pin low. If an abnormal condition is not
detected, the flag output function turns the Nch transistor off and switches the FLG pin high after recovering
from the low voltage detection (Min. 0.35 V) and waiting for the delay time (Min. 0.05 ms). If VOUT is used as
VFLGIN, the FLG pin high voltage (VFLGH) will be same voltage level as VOUT even before finishing the soft-start.
After recovering from the low voltage detection, the lowest VFLGH will be 70% of the set output voltage (VSET).
Using the FLG Pin Voltage of DCDC1 as the CE Pin Input Voltage of DCDC2
The lowest CE pin low voltage (VCEL) is 0.4 V, and the highest CE pin high voltage (VCEH) is 1.4 V. The highest
flag pin low voltage (VFLGL) is 0.4 V and the lowest VFLGH of DCDC1 is approximately 3.5 V, so the flag pin
voltage (VFLG) can be used as the CE pin input voltage (VCE) of DCDC2.
Auto-discharge using the FLG Pin
The R1243x turns the Nch transistor on and switches the FLG pin low during shutdown. If the FLG pin is
switched low, a FLG pin current (IFLG) flows from VFLGIN to the FLG pin resistor (RFLG) and the Nch transistor.
Therefore, using VOUT as VFLGIN can discharge the electric charges of a capacitor connected to VOUT during
shutdown.
The highest IFLG will be VFLGIN divided by RFLG. When determining the RFLG value, ensure that the highest IFLG
will be 5 mA or less. Do not directly connect VOUT to the FLG pin. IFLG may become excessive and damage the
device.
VFLGL is regulated as IFLG = 1 mA. If RFLG is set higher than IFLG = 1 mA, the highest VFLGL of 0.4 V is not
guaranteed, hence the flag function itself may be spoiled.

THE MINIMUM ON-TIME
The minimum On-Time of the R1243 Series is set at 150 ns (Typ.). The minimum On-Time (150 ns) is
determined by considering the tolerable delay time and the necessary stability of the current sense circuits.
The R1243 Series has adopted the current control mode system, which does not require any sense resistor.
By substituting the RON (Nch driver's on-resistance) value into the following equation, the ILX (Inductor current)
value can be obtained: VIN - VLX = ILX x RON. ILX can be sensed only while the Nch driver is turned on (LX = High
period). If the ILX is sensed during the switching surge immediately after the Nch driver is turned on, the
switching surge may cause the malfunction. To avoid the malfunction caused by the switching surge, disable
the current sensing function of Nch driver for a while immediately after the Nch driver is turned on. While the
current sensing function of the Nch driver is disabled, both the current control mode system and the limited
current circuit cannot function normally.
Fig. 4 is a graph with the on time on the horizontal axis, and the limit current on the vertical. The graph shows
that the delay time is occurred in the limited current circuit within 150 ns because the current sensing is not
functioning normally. As a result, the detecting current is increased dramatically. The delay time occurred in
the limited circuit current includes the circuit delay time occurred between the current sense circuit and the
driver.
This could happen in the current control mode system as well. The current control mode system does not
function normally under 150 ns but the operation becomes similar operation to the voltage control mode system
that is low stable.
For the above reasons, the stability and the over-current limit accuracy of the R1243 Series degrades
dramatically under 150 ns. In the case of setting the minimum on time equal or less than 150 ns, an adequate
stability has to be ensured by the external parts and also the over current protection circuit has to be designed
without depending on the current limit circuit of the IC.

OUTPUT CURRENT AND SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The following equations explain the relationship between output current and peripheral components.
IRP is the ripple current P-P value, RONH is the ON resistance of Highside Tr., RL is the DC resistance of inductor.
First, when Highside Tr. is “ON”, the following equation is satisfied.
VIN = VOUT + (RONH + RL) × IOUT + L × IRP / ton ................................................................................ Equation 1
Second, when Highside Tr. is "OFF" (Diode is "ON"), the following equation is satisfied.
L × IRP / toff = VF + VOUT + RL × IOUT ............................................................................................... Equation 2
Put Equation 2 to Equation 1 to solve ON duty of Highside Tr. (DON = ton / (toff + ton):
DON = (VOUT + VF + RL × IOUT) / (VIN + VF - RONH × IOUT) .................................................................. Equation 3
Ripple Current is given by:
IRP = (VIN - VOUT - RONH × IOUT - RL × IOUT) × DON / fosc / L .............................................................. Equation 4
Peak current (ILmax) that flows through L, and LX Tr. is given by:
ILmax = IOUT + IRP / 2...................................................................................................................... Equation 5
The valley current (ILmin) is given by:
ILmin = IOUT - IRP / 2 ....................................................................................................................... Equation 6
If ILmin is smaller than 0 (ILmin < 0), the step-down DC/DC converter operate in discontinuous mode.
The step--down DC/DC converter operates in discontinuous mode when:
IOUT < IRP / 2.................................................................................................................................... Equation 7
It is important to consider ILmax and ILmin when making the input/output conditions or selecting the external
components. The above explanation is based on the ideal operation of continuous mode.

Ripple Current and LX Current Limiting
The fluctuation in ripple current of inductor can be caused by various reasons. The R1243x has a LX current
limiting that sets the upper limitation of the inductor current (LX peak current limit). Note that the LX peak
current limit is not the average inductor current (same as output current value). The larger the ripple current
is, the larger the LX peak current will be. The R1243x001B/D is using this characteristic in the fold-back
current limiting. The fold-back current limiting maintains the LX peak current limiting and reduces the
switching frequency to lower the average inductor current. To release the fold-back current limiting, the LX
peak current of the R1243x001B (250 kHz) or the R1243x001D (82.5 kHz) should not go beyond the LX
peak current limit. Fig. 5 shows the LX current limit sequencing.
