TD1601
Function Description
The TD1601 regulates input voltages from 9V to 60V down
to an output voltage as low as 1.23V, and supplies up to 3A
of load current.
The TD1601 uses current-mode control to regulate the
output voltage. The output voltage is measured at FB
through a resistive voltage divider and amplified through the
internal trans-conductance error amplifier. The output
voltage of the error amplifier is compared to the switch
current (measured internally) to control the output voltage.
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set using a resistive voltage divider
connected from the output voltage to FB. The voltage
divider divides the output voltage down to the feedback
voltage by the ratio:
R
V =V
×(
)
R +R
Thus the output voltage is:
V
= 1.23 × (
R +R
)

maximum inductor peak current, calculated by:

L =I

where ILOAD is the load current.
The choice of which style inductor to use mainly depends on
the price vs. size requirements and any EMI constraints.
Input Capacitor
The input current to the step-down converter is
discontinuous, therefore a capacitor is required to supply
the AC current while maintaining the DC input voltage. Use
low ESR capacitors for the best performance. Ceramic
capacitors are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR
electrolytic capacitors will also suffice. Choose X5R or X7R
dielectrics when using ceramic capacitors. Since the input
capacitor (C1) absorbs the input switching current, it
requires and adequate ripple current rating. The RMS
current in the input capacitor can be estimated by:
I
Inductor
The inductor is required to supply constant current to the
load while being driven by the switched input voltage. A
larger value inductor will result in less ripple current that will
in turn result in lower output ripple voltage. However, the
larger value inductor will have a larger physical size, higher
series resistance, and/or lower saturation current. A good
rule for determining inductance is to allow the peak-to-peak
ripple current to be approximately 30% or the maximum
switch current limit. Also, make sure that the peak inductor
current is below the maximum switch current limit.
The inductance value can be calculated by:
V

Where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the input voltage, fs
is the switching frequency, and ∆IL is the peak-to-peak
inductor ripple current.

The worst-case condition occurs at VIN=2VOUT, where IC1 =
ILOAD/2. For simplification, use an input capacitor with a RMS
current rating greater than half of the maximum load
current. The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum or
ceramic. When using electrolytic or tantalum capacitor, be
placed as close to the IC as possible. When using ceramic
capacitors, make sure that they have enough capacitance to
provide sufficient charge to prevent excessive voltage ripple
at input. The input voltage ripple for low ESR capacitors can
be estimated by:

output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum, or low ESR electrolytic
capacitors are recommended. Under typical application
conditions, a minimum ceramic capacitor value of 20µF is
recommended on the output. Low ESR capacitors are
preferred to keep the output voltage ripple low. The output
voltage ripple can be estimated by:
∆VOUT =

Where C2 is the output capacitance value and RESR is the
equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the output
capacitor.
When using ceramic capacitors, the impedance at the
switching frequency is dominated by the capacitance which
is the main cause for the output voltage ripple. For
simplification, the output voltage ripple can be estimated
by:

Layout Consideration
1. Input MLCC capacitor is strongly recommended to added
and should be connected to the VIN pin and the GND pin as
close as possible.
2. Keep sensitive signal traces such as trace connecting FB
pin away from the VOUT pins.
3. Make the current trace from SW pin to inductor to the
GND as short as possible.
4. Pour a maximized copper area to the GND pin and the VIN
pin to help thermal dissipation.
When using tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. The ESR
dominates the impedance at the switching frequency. For
simplification, the output ripple can be approximated to:
V
V
∆V
=

)×R

V
The characteristics of the output capacitor also affect the
stability of the regulation system. The TD1601 can be
optimized for a wide range of capacitance and ESR values.
