30 V, 1 A Synchronous PWM Step-down DC/DC Converter
No. EA-517-201127
OVERVIEW
The R1271x is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with a maximum input voltage rating of 42V. This device is
suitable for small inductors with the switching frequency of 2 MHz. The external components are only an inductor and
several capacitors and a resistance. The tiny DFN package option makes the power circuit compact .
KEY BENEFITS
● High efficiency 85% is realized with switching frequency of 2 MHz
● The output voltage is maintained at cranking by reducing a switching frequency to minimum 1/4 of normal frequency.
● EMI noise reduction by using a spread spectrum clock generator. (Diffusion Rate: +10%).

Basic Circuit
Step1.
Current Through Inductor
When the high-side MOSFET turns on, current IL (= i1) flows through the Inductor(L) to charge COUT
and provide IOUT. At this moment, IL increases from ILMIN to reach ILMAX in proportion to the on-time
period (tON) of the high-side MOSFET.
Step2.
When the high-side MOSFET turns off, the low-side MOSFET turns on to flow current IL (= i2).
Step3.
The low-side MOSFET turns on until going to the next cycle. When IOUT is small, the low-side MOS
FET must keep “on” to meet IL = ILMIN < 0.
In the PWM mode, the output voltage is maintained constant by controlling tONHS with the constant switching
frequency (fOSC).

Calculation of Inductor Current
The peak inductor current ILMAX can be estimated by the following equation.
ILMAX = IOUT + 1 / 2 × (VIN – VOUT) / L × VOUT / VIN / fOSC
Example: ILMAX = 1A + 1/2 × (12V – 5V) / 2.2µH × 5V / 12V / 2MHz
= 1.331 A
The above can be calculated from the equation with the inductor current in continuous mode of a general
step-down DC/DC converter. The P-P value of the inductor ripple current is “ΔIL”.
The ΔIL is calculated by Equation 1 when the high side MOS FET is ON.
ΔIL = ( VIN – VOUT ) / L × tONHS ··················································································· Equation 1
The ΔIL is calculated by Equation 2 when the high side MOS FET is OFF.
ΔIL = VOUT / L × tOFFHS ···························································································· Equation 2
Using Equation 2 to Equation 1, the ON duty of the high side MOS FET tONHS / (tONHS + tOFFHS) = DON
is solved by Equation 3.
DON = VOUT / VIN ····································································································· Equation 3
And then, the ripple current ΔIL is calculated by substituting tONHS = Don / fOSC into Equation 1.
ΔIL = (VIN − VOUT) / L × DON / fosc ·············································································· Equation 4
At this time, ILMAX flowing in the inductor and high side MOS FET is calculated by Equation 5.
ILMAX = IOUT + ΔIL / 2 ·································································································· Equation 5
Therefor ILMIN is calculated by Equation 6.
ILMIN = IOUT − ΔIL / 2 ·································································································· Equation 6
Note that the input-output conditions and peripheral components should be determined in consideration of
ILMAX and ILMIN.
The above calculations are based on the ideal operation in continuous mode.

UVLO (Undervoltage Lockout)
When the VCC pin voltage decreases below the UVLO detection threshold voltage due to the input voltage
decrease, the R1271x turns the switching off to prevent the malfunction of the device. Due to the switching
stop, the output voltage decreases according to the load and COUT. If the VCC pin voltage increases above
the UVLO release threshold voltage, the device restarts the operation with soft-start.

OVLO (Overvoltage Lockout)
When the input voltage rises above the OVLO detection threshold of voltage, the R1271x turns the switching
off to prevent malfunctions of the device or damage on the high side MOS FET and low side MOS FET due
to overvoltage. Due to the switching stop, the output voltage decreases according to the load and COUT. If the
input voltage decreases below the OVLO release threshold voltage, the device restarts the operation with
soft start. Note that this function does not guarantee the operation exceeding the absolute maximum ratings.

Duty-over Function
When the input voltage is dropped at when the input voltage drops, the R1271x linearly changes the operating
frequency to 1/4 of the set oscillator frequency in order to maintain the output voltage. This increases the on
duty and reduce the voltage difference between input and output. The duty-over starts operating when it
detects the minimum off-time.

Minimum Off-Time
The minimum off time indicates the minimum time that the high side MOS FET can be turned off within the
oscillation period. The minimum off time (Typ. 120 ns) of R1271x is determined by the internal circuit, using a
NMOS of high side MOS FET by adopting bootstrap method. Charging a voltage to drive the high side MOS
FET is needed, and the minimum off time is determined by the time required for charging.
When the input voltage is low or sudden load transient occurs, the high-side MOS FET is turned off at least
every 4 cycles by the duty over function substantially. The input / output voltage difference is decreased by
increasing the maximum duty ratio.
Minimum On-Time
The minimum on-time indicates the minimum time duration that the R1271x can turn the high-side MOS FET
on during the oscillation period. The minimum on-time (Typ. 70 ns) of the device is determined by the internal
circuit. The device cannot generate a pulse width that is less than the pulse width of minimum on-time. If the
minimum step-down ratio/ the oscillator frequency: [VOUT / VIN x (1 / fOSC)].is less than the minimum on-time, the
pulse skipping occurs, which stabilizes the output voltage but increases the ripple of current and voltage.

Standby Function
When the CE pin voltage drops below 1.1V (“Low” threshold voltage), switching is turned off. If the CE pin
voltage rises above the 1.25 V (“High” threshold voltage), the R1271x will restart with a soft start.
In order for the VIN current to be the standby current (ISTANDBY), the CE pin voltage must be 0.4V or less.
Overvoltage Detection (OVD)
The OVD function monitors the output voltage. Switching stops even if the internal circuit is active state, when
detecting the overvoltage. The OVD detection voltage is Typ.110% of VSET, and the PGOOD pin outputs "Low"
when VOUT is over the OVD detection threshold voltage for Typ.15 μs or more. When VOUT is under 107%
(Typ.) of VSET, the PGOOD pin outputs “High” after delay time (Typ.120 µs). Then, switching is controlled by
normal operation.
Under Voltage Detection (UVD)
The UVD function monitors the output voltage. The UVD detection voltage is Typ.90% of VSET, and the
PGOOD pin outputs "Low" when VOUT is less than the UVD detection threshold voltage for Typ.15 μs or more.
When VOUT is over 93% (Typ.) of VSET, the PGOOD pin outputs “High” after delay time (Typ.120 µs.). Then, the
overcurrent protection works when detecting a current limit during the UVD detection.
