AN_SY8105
Operation
SY8105 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 high
efficiency and fast transient response. The high switching
frequency allows using of small profile inductor and
capacitor and the highest switch frequency simultaneously
to minimize the external inductor and capacitor size, and
thus achieving the minimum solution footprint.
Applications Information
Because of the high integration in the SY8105 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 s highly
recommended for both resistors. If Vout is 3.3V,
R1=100k is chosen, then using following equatio , R2 can
be calculated to be 22.1k:
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.
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=
0.6V
R .
VOUT − 0.6V 1
FB
GND
Input capacitor CIN:
The ripple current through input capacitor is calculated
as:
ICIN _ RMS = IOUT ⋅ D(1− D)
.
To minimize the potential noise problem, place a typical
X5R or better grade ceramic capacitor really close to the
IN and GND pins. Care should be taken to minimize the
loop area formed by CIN, and IN/GND pins. For most
applications, a 10uF ceramic capacitor in parallel with
100nF 0603 size ceramic capacitor are recommended.
And place the 100nF/0603 capacitor close to IC to
attenuate high frequency noise.

where Fsw is the switching frequency and IOUT,MAX is
the maximum load current.
The SY8105 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.

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
