The SY8113C 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.

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:

Because of the high integration in the SY8113C 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.

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:

Applications Information
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.

SY8113C 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.
minimize the loop area formed by CIN, and IN/GND
pins. In this case, a 10uF low ESR ceramic capacitor is
recommended.

Input capacitor CIN:
Sil
The ripple current through input capacitor is calculated
as:
I CIN _ RMS = I OUT ⋅ D(1 − D) .
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
