Synchronous Step Down Regulator
Preliminary Specification
General Description
Features
SY8205 develops a high efficiency synchronous stepdown DC-DC converter capable of delivering 5A output
current. SY8205 operates over a wide input voltage
range from 4.5V to 30V and integrates main
switch and synchronous switch with very low RDS(ON)
to minimize the conduction loss.
•
SY8205 adopts the instant PWM architecture to achieve
fast transient responses for high step down applications
and high efficiency at light loads. In addition, it operates
at pseudo-constant frequency of 500kHz under continous
conduction mode to minimize the size of inductor and
capacitor.

Operation
pins. In this case, a 10uF low ESR ceramic capacitor is
recommended.
SY8205 is a synchronous buck regulator IC that
integrates the PWM control, top and bottom switches on
the same die to minimize the switching transition loss
and conduction loss. With ultra low Rds(on) power
switches and proprietary PWM control, this regulator IC
can achieve the highest efficiency and the highest switch
frequency simultaneously to minimize the external
inductor and capacitor size, and thus achieving the
minimum solution footprint.
Output capacitor COUT:
The output capacitor is selected to handle the output
ripple noise requirements. Both steady state ripple and
transient requirements must be taken into consideration
when selecting this capacitor. For the best performance,
it is recommended to use X5R or better grade ceramic
capacitor greater than 47uF capacitance.
SY8205 provides protection functions such as cycle by
cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown protection.
SY8205 will sense the output voltage conditions for the
fault protection.
Applications Information
Because of the high integration in the SY8205 IC, the
application circuit based on this regulator IC is rather
simple. Only input capacitor CIN, output capacitor COUT,
output inductor L and feedback resistors (R1 and R2)
need to be selected for the targeted applications
specifications.
Feedback resistor dividers R1 and R2:
Choose R1 and R2 to program the proper output voltage.
To minimize the power consumption under light loads, it
is desirable to choose large resistance values for both R1
and R2. A value of between 10kΩ and 1MΩ is highly
recommended for both resistors. If Vout is 3.3V,
R1=100k is chosen, then using following equation, R2
can be calculated to be 22.1k:
Output inductor L:
There are several considerations in choos ng this
inductor.
1) Choose the inductance to provide the desired
ripple current. It is suggested to choose the ripple
current to be about 40% of the maximum output
current. The inductance is calculated as:
L=
(1 − V
V
OUT
F ×I
SW
/V
OUT
)
IN, MAX
× 40%
OUT, MAX
where Fsw is the switching frequency and IOUT,MAX
is the maximum load current.
The SY8205 regulator IC is quite tolerant of different
ripple current amplitude. Consequently, the final choice
of inductance can be slightly off the calculation value
without significantly impacting the performance.
2) The saturation current rating of the inductor must
be selected to be greater than the peak inductor
current under full load conditions.

3)
The DCR of the inductor and the core loss at the
switching frequency must be low enough to
achieve the desired efficiency requirement. It is
desirable to choose an inductor with DCR
