SY8303A
Operation
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 22uF capacitance.
The SY8303A develops a high efficiency synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter capable of delivering 3A
load current. The SY8303A operates over a wide input
voltage range from 4.5V to 40V and integrates main
switch and synchronous switch with very low RDS(ON)
to minimize the conduction loss.
Output Inductor L:
There are several considerations in choosing 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-P
where Fsw is the switching frequency and I OUT,MAX is
the maximum load current.
The SY8303A regulator 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.
id

t
ia
Because of the high integration in the SY8303A IC, the
application circuit based on this regulator 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:

2) The saturation current rating of the inductor must
be selected to be greater than the peak inductor
current under full load conditions.
Si
Input Capacitor CIN:
The ripple current through input capacitor is calculated
as:
I CIN _ RMS I OUT D(1 D) .
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
