10. Operational Description
All the characteristic values given in this section are
typical values, unless they are specified as minimum or
maximum.
10.1. PWM Output Voltage Control
The SI-8000SD series control the output voltage by the
PWM method and have a built-in PWM comparator,
oscillator, error amplifier, reference voltage, output
transistor drive circuit, etc. The PWM comparator
outputs the switching transistor control signal as a square
wave by comparing the triangular wave output (≈60 kHz)
from the oscillator with the error amplifier output. The
PWM comparator controls the switching transistor to
turn on during the period when the error amplifier output
exceeds the oscillator output. When the output voltage
rises, the output of the error amplifier decreases because
the error amplifier is an inverting type. When the error
amplifier output decreases, the period below the
oscillator triangle wave level decreases. Thus, the turn-on
period of the switching transistor is shortened. In this
way, the output voltage is regulated by changing the
turn-on time of the switching transistor with the
switching frequency fixed. The higher the V IN, the
shorter the turn-on period of the switching transistor. The
square wave output of the switching transistor is
smoothed by an LC low-pass filter consisting of an
inductor and a capacitor. As a result, a regulated DC
voltage is supplied to the load.

10.2. Input/output Current and Inductor
Current
The square wave output generated by the switching
transistor built in the IC is smoothed by the LC filter
composed of the inductor and the output capacitor, and
converted to the DC output voltage. The operation of the
LC filter significantly affects the stable operation of the
switching regulator. Figure 10-3 shows the schematic
diagram of the current flowing through the circuit, and
Figure 10-4 shows the waveforms of the current flowing
through each element.

Waveforms of Current through Each
Element
As shown in Figure 10-3, the current, IL, flowing
through the inductor has a triangular waveform. This
triangular waveform is composed of two types of current
components, ITR and IDI. The current, ITR, is the current
supplied from the input side through the transistor at
transistor turn-on, and the average value is the input
current, IIN. The current, IDI, is the current that the energy

stored in the inductor is commutated through the
freewheeling diode at transistor turn-off.
The inductor current, IL, is the sum of ITR and IDI.
Moreover, the average IL is the DC output current, IOUT,
because the triangular wave component on which IL is
superimposed is smoothed by the capacitor, COUT.
10.5. Soft Start Function
When a capacitor, C3, is connected to the SS pin, soft
start is activated at input voltage turned-on. The soft start
time, tSS, until VOUT rises is calculated by the Equation
(1).
t SS = t d + t S
10.3. Overcurrent Protection Function
(OCP)
The IC has the drooping type overcurrent protection
(OCP) circuit. The overcurrent protection circuit detects
the peak current of the switching transistor. When the
peak current exceeds the set value, the current is limited
by forcibly shortening the on-time of the transistor and
reducing the output voltage. When the output voltage
decreases further to 50% of the rated value, the switching
frequency is decreased to about 30 kHz. As a result, the
current increase at the low output voltage is suppressed.
When the overcurrent state is released, the output voltage
restarts automatically.

10.4. Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
The thermal shutdown (TSD) circuit of the IC detects
the junction temperature of the IC. When the junction
temperature exceeds the set value, the TSD turns off the
output by stopping the output transistor. When the
junction temperature drops for about 15 °C from the
thermal shutdown set value, the TSD automatically
restarts the normal operation.

Soft Start Function
The voltage cannot be externally applied because the

the SS pin open if the soft start function is not used.
Increasing the capacitance of C3 increases the
discharging time at input voltage off. A capacitor of ≤
10 μF should be used.
When the IC operates in discontinuous conduction
mode, the rising time, tS, in actual operation may be
shorter than the calculated value.

10.6. Output On/Off Function
Output can be turned on/off using the SS pin. To use
on/off function, connect a transistor as shown in Figure

lower, the output is stopped.

On/Off Function
The soft start function can be used in combination with
on/off function by connecting a transistor and a capacitor
as shown in Figure 10-10. In this case, the discharge
current of C3 flows through the transistor for on/off
function. Therefore, protection such as current limiting is
required when the capacitance of C3 is large.

11. Design Notes
Low Inductance
11.1. Selecting External Components
11.1.1. Inductor, L1
a)
An inductor should be for switching regulator
Do not use an inductor for noise filter because it has
a large loss.
b) Rated current
The inductor rated current must be larger than the
maximum load current according to your application.
When the load current exceeds the rated current of
the inductor, the inductance decreases significantly,
resulting in saturation. Note that in this state, the
high frequency impedance decreases and an
excessive current flows.
c)
Low noise
In the open magnetic circuit core such as drum type,
the peripheral circuit may be significantly affected
by noise because the magnetic flux passes outside
the coil. It is recommended to use a closed magnetic
circuit core coil such as a toroidal type, EI type, or
EE type.
d) Inductance value should be appropriate
The larger the inductance of the choke coil, the
larger the external size of the coil. On the other hand,
the ripple current flowing through the coil decreases
and the output ripple voltage also decreases (see
Figure 11-1).
The smaller the inductance, the larger the peak
current that flows through the switching transistor or
diode. Thus, the loss increases and the ripple voltage
also increases (see Figure 11-2).
High Inductance
COUT
Figure 11-2.
The inductor, L, supplies the current to the load side at
switching transistor turn-off. For the regulator stable
operation, it is required to avoid saturating the inductor
and excessive self-heating. The following are the key
considerations and the guidelines for selecting an
inductor.
Small Ripple Voltage, Current
COUT
Large Ripple Voltage, Current
Ripple Voltage and Current (Low
Inductance)
Inductance is calculated by the Equation (4).
L=
(VIN − VOUT ) × VOUT
∆IL × VIN × f
(4)
In the Equation, (4), ΔIL shows the ripple current value
of the choke coil, and the reference value is set as
follows:
● When the output current in your application is close to
the maximum rating (3 A): 0.2 to 0.3 times the output
current
● When the output current in your application is
approximately 1 A or less: 0.3 to 0.4 times the output
current
For example, when VIN = 25 V, VOUT = 5 V,
ΔIL = 0.5 A, and f = 60 kHz, L is calculated as follows:
L=
(25 − 5) × 5
≒ 133 μH
0.5 × 25 × 60 × 103
Thus, the inductor of about 130 μH should be selected.
11.1.2. Input Capacitor, CIN
The input capacitor, CIN, operates as a bypass
capacitor for the input circuit. CIN compensates for the
voltage drop in the input side by supplying a steep
current at switching to the regulator. Therefore, CIN
should be placed as close as possible to the IC. When the
smoothing capacitor of AC rectifier circuit is in the input
circuit, the smoothing capacitor can also be used as the
input capacitor.
The following are the key considerations and the
guidelines for selecting CIN.
a) Within the rated voltage
b) Within the allowable ripple current

The ripple current of the output capacitor is
equal to the ripple current of the choke coil and
does not change even if the load current
increases or decreases.
As the load current increases, the ripple
current of the input capacitor increases.
Figure 11-3.
Figure 11-4.
CIN Current Flow
Exceeding the rated voltage or the allowable ripple
current or using without considering the derating may
cause abnormal oscillation of the switching regulator as
well as shorten the life of the capacitor. Therefore, select
CIN with sufficient margin for the rated voltage and
allowable ripple current. The ripple effective current,
IRMS, flowing through the input capacitor is calculated by
Equation (5).

Thus, select a capacitor that has an allowable ripple
current of > 0.9 A.
11.1.3. Output Capacitor, COUT
The output capacitor, COUT, operates as an LC lowpass filter along with the inductor, L1, and operates as a
smoothing capacitor for switching output. The output
capacitor is charged and discharged with a current equal
to the ripple current of the choke coil, ΔI L. Therefore, as
in the input capacitor, CIN, COUT is selected with
sufficient margin and equivalent series resistance (ESR)
for the rated voltage and allowable ripple current. The
following are the key considerations and the guidelines
COUT Current Flow
● Allowable ripple current
The ripple effective current of the output capacitor is
calculated by Equation (6).
IRMS =
∆IL
(6)
2√3
For example, when ΔIL is 0.5 A, IRMS is calculated as
follows:

For example, when IOUT = 3 A, VIN = 20 V, and
VOUT = 5 V, IRMS is calculated as follows:

≈ 0.14 A
Thus, select a capacitor that has an allowable ripple
current of > 0.14 A.
● Equivalent series resistance (ESR)
Select an appropriate value for ESR for stable
operation. If the ESR is too large, the output ripple
voltage increases, and abnormal oscillation may be
caused. On the other hand, if the ESR is too small, the
phase margin becomes insufficient. The output ripple
voltage is determined by the product of the inductor
ripple current, ΔIL (= COUT charge/discharge current) and
ESR. For stable operation, the output ripple voltage
should be 0.5% to 2% of the output voltage. The output
ripple voltage is calculated using equations (7) and (8).
ESR changes with temperature. Note that the ESR
decreases at high temperatures.

(8)
If the ESR is too small (about 10 mΩ to 30 mΩ or
less), the phase delay becomes large and abnormal
oscillation may occur. Do not use tantalum capacitors
and monolithic ceramic capacitors alone for COUT as they
have low ESR. When used at low temperature (0 °C or
less), connecting a tantalum capacitor or a laminated
ceramic capacitor in parallel with the electrolytic
capacitor is effective in reducing the output ripple
voltage. In order to further reduce the output ripple
voltage, it is effective to add an LC filter to configure a
pi filter (see Figure 11-5). When an LC filter is added,
connect the point A to the VOS pin so that point A in
Figure 11-5 is the output voltage detection point. If point
A is not set as the output voltage detection point,
abnormal oscillation may occur.
To reduce spike noise, add a noise reduction circuit
between the input and output of the IC and both ends of
the freewheeling diode, D1. Note that the efficiency is
decreased.
When measuring spike noise with an oscilloscope,
connect the probe to the root of the output capacitor with
the shortest probe lead wire. If the probe ground lead
wire is long, the spike noises may be measured
abnormally large because the lead wire acts as an antenna.

11.1.4. Freewheeling Diode, D1
The freewheel diode is used to release the energy
stored in the inductor at switching off. Be sure to use a
Schottky diode for the freewheeling diode. If a diode
with a long recovery time and a large forward voltage,
such as a general-purpose rectifier diode, is used, a
reverse voltage is applied to the IC, which may damage
the IC.
The voltage output from the SW pin is close to the
input voltage. Therefore, use a freewheeling diode whose
reverse breakdown voltage is higher than the input
voltage. Do not add ferrite beads to the freewheeling
diode.

11.2.2. Input/ Output Capacitor
The input capacitor, CIN, and the output capacitor,
COUT, must be placed as close as possible to the IC.
When CIN and COUT are far from the IC, it may cause
poor regulation or abnormal oscillation due to increased
switching ripple.
When a smoothing capacitor for the AC rectifier
circuit is in the input side, the smoothing capacitor can
also be used as the input capacitor. When the input
smoothing capacitor and the IC are distant, connect an
input capacitor separated from the smoothing capacitor.
Since the large current is charged and discharged to the
input/output capacitor at high speed, the lead wire should
be as short as possible. The pattern of the capacitor
should also be the shortest.

11.3. Operational Waveforms Confirmation
Whether the switching operation is normal can be
confirmed by the waveform between the SW and GND
pins of the IC. Figure 11-12 shows examples of
waveforms in normal operation and abnormal oscillation.
When the load current is large, the IC operates in
continuous conduction mode. In continuous conduction
mode, the period when the current through inductor
becomes zero does not occur. The switching waveform
has the shape of a normal square wave (waveform 1).
When the load current is small, the IC operates in
discontinuous conduction mode. In discontinuous
conduction mode, the period when the current through
inductor becomes zero occurs. The damped oscillation
occurs in the switching waveform, which is normal
operation (waveform 2).
If the IC and CIN, COUT are distant from each other,
abnormal on/off time of switching is disturbed, and
abnormal oscillation occurs as shown in waveform 3 and
waveform 4.

11.4. Thermal Design
Generally, the heat dissipation of an IC depends on the
size and material of the board and the copper area. To
improve the thermal performance, the copper area of the
part where the backside of the IC is soldered should be as
large as possible.
Figure 13-13 shows the thermal derating of the IC.
When using the IC, ensure a sufficient margin.
Follow the procedure below to design heat dissipation.
(1) Measure the maximum ambient temperature,
TA(MAX) of the IC.
(2) PD(MAX) is calculated by changing the input/output
conditions and checking the power dissipation, PD.
PD is calculated by Equation (9).

(3) Determine the copper area by confirming the
intersection of ambient temperature and power
dissipation by the thermal derating characteristics
shown in Figure 13-13.

between the copper area and thermal resistance of a
