Functions Description
Internal Regulator
The H9108 is a current mode step down DC/DC converter that provides excellent transient response with
no extra external compensation components. This device contains an internal, low resistance, high
SI
voltage power MOSFET, and operates at a high 600K operating frequency to ensure a compact, high
efficiency design with excellent AC and DC performance.
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage with the internal FB reference (VFB) and outputs a
current proportional to the difference between the two. This output current is then used to charge or
discharge the internal compensation network to form the COMP voltage, which is used to control the
power MOSFET current. The optimized internal compensation network minimizes the external
component counts and simplifies the control loop design.
Internal Soft-Start
The soft-start is implemented to prevent the converter output voltage from overshooting during startup.
When the chip starts, the internal circuitry generates a soft-start voltage (SS) ramping up from 0V to 0.6V.
When it is lower than the internal reference (REF), SS overrides REF so the error amplifier uses SS as
the reference. When SS is higher than REF, REF regains control. The SS time is internally fixed to 1.5ms.
Over Current Protection & Hiccup
The H9108 has cycle-by-cycle over current limit when the inductor current peak value exceeds the set
current limit threshold. Meanwhile, output voltage starts to drop until FB is below the Under-Voltage (UV)
threshold, typically 25% below the reference. Once a UV is triggered, the H9108 enters hiccup mode to

periodically restart the part. This protection mode is especially useful when the output is dead-short to
ground. The average short circuit current is greatly reduced to alleviate the thermal issue and to protect
the regulator. The H9108 exits the hiccup mode once the over current condition is removed.
Startup and Shutdown
If both VIN and EN are higher than their appropriate thresholds, the chip starts. The reference block starts
first, generating stable reference voltage and currents, and then the internal regulator is enabled. The
regulator provides stable supply for the remaining circuitries. Three events can shut down the chip: EN
low, VIN low and thermal shutdown. In the shutdown procedure, the signaling path is first blocked to
avoid any fault triggering. The COMP voltage and the internal supply rail are then pulled down. The
floating driver is not subject to this shutdown command.
Applications Information
Setting the Output Voltage
H9108 require an input capacitor, an output capacitor and an inductor. These components are critical to
the performance of the device. H9108 are internally compensated and do not require external

IN
components to achieve stable operation. The output voltage can be programmed by resistor divider.
Selecting the Inductor
The recommended inductor values are shown in the Application Diagram. It is important to guarantee the
inductor core does not saturate during any foreseeable operational situation. The inductor should be
rated to handle the peak load current plus the ripple current: Care should be taken when reviewing the
different saturation current ratings that are specified by different manufacturers. Saturation current ratings
SI
are typically specified at 25°C, so ratings at maximum ambient temperature of the application should be
requested from the manufacturer.
Where ΔIL is the inductor ripple current. Choose inductor ripple current to be approximately 30% if the
maximum load current, 2A. The maximum inductor peak current is:
Under light load conditions below 100mA, larger inductance is recommended for improved efficiency.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
Special attention should be paid when selecting these components. The DC bias of these capacitors can
result in a capacitance value that falls below the minimum value given in the recommended capacitor
specifications table.

The ceramic capacitor’s actual capacitance can vary with temperature. The capacitor type X7R, which
operates over a temperature range of −55°C to +125°C, will only vary the capacitance to within ±15%.
The capacitor type X5R has a similar tolerance over a reduced temperature range of −55°C to +85°C.
Many large value ceramic capacitors, larger than 1uF are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature
characteristics. Their capacitance can drop by more than 50% as the temperature varies from 25°C to
85°C. Therefore X5R or X7R is recommended over Z5U and Y5V in applications where the ambient
temperature will change significantly above or below 25°C.
Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more
expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 0.47uF to 44uF range.
Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size
ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within
the stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a
ceramic capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will
increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from 25°C down to −40°C, so some guard band must be
allowed.
PC Board Layout Consideration
IN
PCB layout is very important to achieve stable operation. It is highly recommended to duplicate EVB
layout for optimum performance. If change is necessary, please follow these guidelines and take Figure 4
for reference.
1.
Keep the path of switching current short and minimize the loop area formed by Input capacitor,
PR
O
high-side MOSFET and low-side MOSFET.
2.
Bypass ceramic capacitors are suggested to be put close to the Vin Pin.
3.
Ensure all feedback connections are short and direct. Place the feedback resistors and
compensation components as close to the chip as possible.
4.
VOUT, SW away from sensitive analog areas such as FB.
5.
Connect IN, SW, and especially GND respectively to a large copper area to cool the chip to improve
thermal performance and long-term reliability.
