AN_SY8009
Operation
SY8009 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.
Applications Information
Because of the high integration in the SY8009 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 10k and 200k is highly recommended for R2. If R2=100k
is chosen, then R1 can be calculated to be:
R1 =
(VOUT − 0.6 V) ⋅ R2
0.6V
Input capacitor CIN:
With the maximum load current at 1.2A, the maximum ripple current through input capacitor is about 0.6Arms. A
typical X7R or better grade ceramic capacitor with 6V rating and greater than 4.7uF capacitance can handle this
ripple current well. To minimize the potential noise problem, place this 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.
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 X7R or better grade ceramic capacitor with 6V rating and greater than 4.7uF 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:
V (1 − VOUT /VIN, MAX )
L = OUT
FSW × IOUT, MAX × 40%
where Fsw is the switching frequency and IOUT,MAX is the maximum load current.
The SY8009 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.
VOUT(1-VOUT/VIN,MAX)
ISAT, MIN > IOUT, MAX +
2 ⋅ FSW ⋅ L
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
