SET signal form OSC turns ON a P -channel MOS FET (while a N-channel MOS FET is turned OFF), and an inductor current IL increases. The current comparator (Current Comp) receives two signals, a current feedback control signal (SENSE: Voltage converted from I L) and a voltage feedback control signal (FB), and issues a RESET signal if both in put signals are identical to each other, and turns OFF the P-channel MOS FET (while a N-channel MOS FET is turned ON) for the rest of the fixed period.

Determination of RITH, CITH that works as a phase compensator As the Current Mode Control is designed to limit a inductor current, a pole (phase lag) appears in the low frequency area due to a CR filter consisting of a output capacitor and a load resistance, while a zero (phase lead) appears in the high frequency area due to the output capacitor and its ESR.

Be sure to allow sufficient margins to accommodate variations between external devi ces and this IC when employing the depicted circuit with other circuit constants modified. Both static and transient characteristics should be considered in establishing these margins.

Absolute Maximum Ratings While utmost care is taken to quality control of this product, any application that may exceed some of the absolute maximum ratings including the voltage applied and the operating temperature range may result in breakage. If broken, short-mode or open-mode may not be identified. So if it is expected to encounter with special mode that may exceed the absolute maximum ratings, it is requested to take necessary safety measures physically including insertion of fuses. 2. Electrical potential at GND GND must be designed to have the lowest electrical potential In any operating conditions. 3. Short-circuiting between terminals, and mismounting When mounting to pc board, care must be taken to avoid mistake in its orientation and alignment. Failure to do so may result in IC breakdown. Short-circuiting due to foreign matters entered between output terminals, or between output and power supply or GND may also cause breakdown. 4.Operation in Strong electromagnetic field Be noted that using the IC in the strong electromagnetic radiation can cause operation failures. 5. Thermal shutdown protection circuit Thermal shutdown protection circuit is the circuit designed to isolate the IC from thermal runaway, and not intended to protect and guarantee the IC. So, the IC the thermal shutdown protection circuit of which is once activated should not be used thereafter for any operation originally intended. 6. Inspection with the IC set to a pc board If a capacitor must be connected to the pin of lower impedance during inspection with the IC set to a pc board, the capacitor must be discharged after each process to avoid stress to the IC. For electrostatic protection, provide proper grounding to assembling processes with special care taken in h andling and storage. When connecting to jigs in the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF the power supply before it is connected and removed. 7. Input to IC terminals + This is a monolithic IC with P isolation between P-substrate and each element as illustrated below. This P-layer and the N-layer of each element form a P-N junction, and various parasitic element are formed. If a resistor is joined to a transistor terminal as shown in Fig 36. ○P-N junction works as a parasitic diode if the following relationship is satisfied; GND>Terminal A (at resistor side), or GND>Terminal B (at transistor side); and ○if GND>Terminal B (at NPN transistor side), a parasitic NPN transistor is activated by N-layer of other element adjacent to the above-mentioned parasitic diode. The structure of the IC inevitably forms parasitic elements, the activation of which may cause interference among circuits, and/or malfunctions contributing to breakdown. It is therefore requested to take care not to use the device in such manner that the voltage lower than GND (at P-substrate) may be applied to the input terminal, which may result in activation of parasitic elements.

Ground wiring pattern If small-signal GND and large-current GND are provided, It will be recommended to separate the large -current GND pattern from the small-signal GND pattern and establish a single ground at the reference point of the set PCB so that resistance to the wiring pattern and voltage fluctuations due to a large current will c ause no fluctuations in voltages of the small-signal GND. Pay attention not to cause fluctuations in the GND wiring pattern of external parts as well. 9 . Selection of inductor It is recommended to use an inductor with a series resistance element (DCR) 0. 1Ω or less. Especially, in case output voltage is set 1.6V or more, note that use of a high DCR inductor will cause an inductor loss, resulting in decreased output voltage. Should this condition continue for a specified period (soft start time + timer latc h time), output short circuit protection will be activated and output will be latched OFF. When using an inductor over 0.1Ω, be careful to ensure adequate margins for variation between external devices and this IC, including transient as well as static cha racteristics. Furthermore, in any case, it is recommended to start up the output with EN after supply voltage is within operation range.
