SET signal form OSC turns ON a highside MOS FET (while a lowside 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 IL) and a voltage feedback control signal (FB), and issues a RESET signal if both input signals are identical to each other, and turns OFF the highside MOS FET (while a lowside MOS FET is turned ON) for the rest of the fixed period.

In case of extreme conditions, however, including lower input voltage, higher output voltage, heavier load, and/or higher temperature, the permissible dissipation and/or heat generation must be carefully considered. For dissipation, only conduction losses due to DC resistance of inductor and ON resistance of FET are considered. Because the conduction losses are considered to play the leading role among other dissipation mentioned above including gate charge/discharge dissipation and switching dissipation. 4.0 ①3.56W Power dissipation:Pd [W] 3.0 4 layers (Copper foil area : 5505mm ) copper foil in each layers. θj-a=35.1℃/W 2 ② 4 layers (Copper foil area : 10.29m ) copper foil in each layers. θj-a=103.3℃/W 2 ③ 4 layers (Copper foil area : 10.29m ) θj-a=178.6℃/W ④IC only. θj-a=367.6℃/W ① 2 2 P=IOUT ×RON RON=D×RONP+(1-D)RONN 2.0 ②1.21W 1.0 ③0.70W ④0.34W 0 0 25 50 75 100105 125 150 Ambient temperature:Ta [℃] D：ON duty (=VOUT/VCC) RONH：ON resistance of Highside MOS FET RONL：ON resistance of Lowside MOS FET IOUT：Output current Fig.25 Thermal derating curve (VQFN020V4040) If VCC=3.3V, VOUT=1.8V, RONH=82mΩ, RONL=70mΩ IOUT=3A, for example, D=VOUT/VCC=1.8/3.3=0.545 RON=0.545×0.082+(1-0.545)×0.07 =0.0447+0.0319 =0.0766[Ω] P=32×0.0766＝0.6894[W] As RONH is greater than RONL in this IC, the dissipation increases as the ON duty becomes greater. With the consideration on the dissipation as above, thermal design must be carried out with sufficient margin allowed. 8/16 ●Selection of components externally connected 1. Selection of inductor (L) IL ΔIL VCC The inductance significantly depends on output ripple current. As seen in the equation (1), the ripple current decreases as the inductor and/or switching frequency increases.

The inductor must be selected allowing sufficient margin with which the peak current may not exceed its current rating. If VCC=5.0V, VOUT=2.5V, f=1MHz, ΔIL=0.2×3A=0.6A, for example,(BD8962MUV) (5-2.5)×2.5 0.6×5×1M L= =2.08μ → 2.2[μH] ※Select the inductor of low resistance component (such as DCR and ACR) to minimize dissipation in the inductor for better efficiency. 2. Selection of output capacitor (CO) VCC Output capacitor should be selected with the consideration on the stability region and the equivalent series resistance required to smooth ripple voltage. VOUT Output ripple voltage is determined by the equation (4)： ΔVOUT=ΔIL×ESR [V]・・・(4) (ΔIL: Output ripple current, ESR: Equivalent series resistance of output capacitor) ※Rating of the capacitor should be determined allowing sufficient margin against output voltage. A 22μF to 100μF ceramic capacitor is recommended. Less ESR allows reduction in output ripple voltage. L ESR Co Fig.27 Output capacitor 9/16 3. Selection of input capacitor (Cin) VCC Cin Input capacitor to select must be a low ESR capacitor of the capacitance sufficient to cope with high ripple current to prevent high transient voltage.

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. So, the phases are easily compensated by adding a zero to the power amplifier output with C and R as described below to cancel a pole at the power amplifier. fp(Min.)

Basically, it is recommended to use in the condition : VCCmin = VOUT+1.2V. Fig.33. shows the necessary output current value at the lower limit of input voltage.

Although the parts are sound, actual circuit characteristics should be checked on your application carefully before use. Be sure to allow sufficient margins to accommodate variations between external devices 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. When switching noise is substantial and may impact the system, a low pass filter should be inserted between the VCC and PVCC pins, and a schottky barrier diode or snubber established between the SW and PGND pins. 12/16 ●I/O equivalence circuit 【BD8962MUV】 ・EN pin ・SW pin PVCC PVCC PVCC EN SW ・ADJ pin ・ITH pin VCC ADJ ITH ・BST pin PVCC PVCC BST SW Fig.35 I/O equivalence circuit 13/16 ●Cautions on use 1. 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. 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. 5. 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 handling and storage. When connecting to jigs in the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF the power supply before it is connected and removed. 6. 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 cause 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. 8 . 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 latch 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 characteristics. Furthermore, in any case, it is recommended to start up the output with EN after supply voltage is within operation range. ●Ordering part number B D 8 9 Type 6 2 M U Package V ― E 2 ROHM part number Package specification E2 : Embossed taping 62 : Adjustable (0.8～2.5V) MUV : VQFN020V4040 VQFN020V4040 4.0±0.1 4.0±0.1 Tape Quantity Direction of feed Embossed carrier tape 2500pcs E2 (The direction is the 1pin of product is at the upper left when you hold reel on the left hand and you pull out the tape on the right hand) 1.0Max.
