Application Information
Inductor Selection
For most applications, the value of the inductor will fall in the range of 1H to 4.7H. Its value is
chosen based on the desired ripple current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and small
value inductors result in higher ripple currents. Higher VIN or VOUT also increases the ripple current as
shown in equation. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is △IL = 0.72A (40% of
1.8A).
The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current plus half
the ripple current to prevent core saturation. Thus, a 2.16A rated inductor should be enough for most
applications (1.8A + 0.36A). For better efficiency, choose a low DC-resistance inductor.
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/current and price/current relationship of an
inductor. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or perm alloy materials are small and don’t radiate
much energy, but generally cost more than powdered iron core inductors with similar electrical
characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use often depends more on the price vs. size
requirements and any radiated field/EMI requirements than on what VOUT requires to operate.
Output and Input Capacitor Selection
In continuous mode, the source current of the top MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN.
To prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current
must be used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by:
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is
commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that the
capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings are often based on 2000 hours of life. This makes it
advisable to further derate the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Always consult the manufacturer if there is any question.
The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective series resistance (ESR).Typically, once the
ESR requirement for COUT has been met, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P)
requirement. The output ripple ΔVOUT is determined by:
Where f = operating frequency, COUT = output capacitance and ΔIL = ripple current in the inductor.
For a fixed output voltage, the output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage since ΔIL increases
with input voltage. Aluminum electrolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are both available in surface
mount configurations. In the case of tantalum, it is critical that the capacitors are surge tested for use
in switching power supplies. An excellent choice is the AVX TPS series of surface mount tantalum.
These are specially constructed and tested for low ESR.

Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the output power divided by the input power times
100%. It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine what is limiting the efficiency and
which change would produce the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as: Efficiency =
100% - (L1+ L2+ L3+ ...) where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage of input power.
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, two main sources usually account for
most of the losses: VIN quiescent current and I2R losses. The VIN quiescent current loss dominates
the efficiency loss at very low load currents whereas the I2R loss dominates the efficiency loss at
medium to high load currents. In a typical efficiency plot, the efficiency curve at very low load
currents can be misleading since the actual power lost is of no consequence.
1. The VIN quiescent current is due to two components: the DC bias current as given in the electrical
characteristics and the internal main switch and synchronous switch gate charge currents. The gate
charge current results from switching the gate capacitance of the internal power MOSFET switches.
Each time the gate is switched from high to low to high again, a packet of charge △Q moves from
VIN to ground. The resulting △Q/△t is the current out of VIN that is typically larger than the DC bias
current. In continuous mode, IGATECHG = f (QT+QB) where QT and QB are the gate charges of the
internal top and bottom switches. Both the DC bias and gate charge losses are proportional to VIN
and thus their effects will be more pronounced at higher supply voltages.
2. I2R losses are calculated from the resistances of the internal switches, RSW and external inductor
RL. In continuous mode the average output current flowing through inductor L is “chopped” between
the main switch and the synchronous switch. Thus, the series resistance looking into the SW pin is a
function of both top and bottom MOSFET RDS(ON) and the duty cycle (DC) as follows: RSW =
RDS(ON)TOP x DC + RDS(ON)BOT x (1-DC) The RDS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSFETs can be
obtained from the Typical Performance Characteristics curves. Thus, to obtain I2R losses, simply add
RSW to RL and multiply the result by the square of the average output current. Other losses
including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative losses and inductor core losses generally account for less
than 2% of the total loss.
Board Layout Suggestions
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following checklist should be used to ensure proper
operation of the HX3033A. Check the following in your layout:
1.
The power traces, consisting of the GND trace, the SW trace and the VIN trace should be kept
short, direct and wide.
2.
Put the input capacitor as close as possible to the device pins (VIN and GND).
3.
SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and should be kept small area. Keep analog
components away from SW node to prevent stray capacitive noise pick-up.
4.
Connect all analog grounds to a command node and then connect the command node to the power
ground behind the output capacitors.
