SY8301
Operation
ICIN_RMS =IOUT D(1-D) .
The SY8301 develops a high efficiency synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter capable of delivering 1A
load current. The SY8301 operates over a wide input
voltage range from 4V to 40V and integrates main
switch and synchronous switch with low RDS(ON) to
minimize the conduction loss.
To minimize the potential noise problem, a typical
X5R or a better grade ceramic capacitor should be
placed really close to the IN and GND pins. Care
should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by
CIN, and IN/GND pins. In this case, a 4.7µF low ESR
ceramic capacitor is recommended.
The SY8301 adopts peak current control scheme. The
switching frequency is 2MHz. Low output voltage
ripple and small external inductor and capacitor sizes
are achieved with 2MHz switching frequency.
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 an X5R or a better grade
ceramic capacitor greater than 22µF capacitance.
The device also features ultra low quiescent operating
to achieve high efficiency under light load. And the
internal soft-start limits inrush current during power on.
Applications Information
Because of the high integration in the SY8301, the
application circuit based on this regulator is rather
simple. Only the input capacitor CIN, the output
capacitor COUT, the output inductor L and the 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 32k:
R2 =
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=
VOUT (1 − VOUT /VIN,MAX )
fSW IOUT,MAX 40%
Where fSW is the switching frequency and IOUT,MAX is
the maximum load current.
The SY8301 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
