Recommendations
There are several design considerations related
to the selection of output inductors and
capacitors:
• Load transient response
• Stability
• E fficiency
• Output ripple voltage
• Over current ruggedness
The device has been optimized for use with
nominal LC values as shown in the Application
Diagram.

This input supply must be well regulated. If the
��
input =supply is located more than a few inches,
additional�� bulk capacitance may be required in
addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An
electrolytic capacitor with a value of 47uF is a
typical choice.VIN must be connected to input
capacitors as close as possible.

The recommended inductor values are shown in
the Application Diagram. It is important to
guarantee the inductor core does not saturate
during any foreseeable operational situation. The
inductor should be rated to handle the peak load
current plus the ripple current: Care should be
taken when reviewing the different saturation
current ratings that are specified by different
manufacturers. Saturation current ratings are
typically specified at 25°C, so ratings at maximum
ambient temperature of the application should be
requested from the manufacturer.

Recommended Method for BUCK Inductor Selection
XC8112B
B
The best way to guarantee the inductor does not saturate is to choose an inductor that has saturation current
rating greater than the maximum device current limit , as specified in the Electrical Characteristics . In this case
the device will prevent inductor saturation by going into current limit before the saturation level is reached.
Alternate Method for BUCK Inductor Selection
If the recommended approach cannot be used care must be taken to guarantee that the saturation current is
greater than the peak inductor current:

Output and Input Capacitors Characteristics
Special attention should be paid when selecting these components. The DC bias of these capacitors can result
in a capacitance value that falls below the minimum value given in the recommended capacitor specifications
table.The ceramic capacitor’s actual capacitance can vary with temperature. The capacitor type X7R, which
operates over a temperature range of −55°C to +125°C, will only vary the capacitance to within ±15%. The
capacitor type X5R has a similar tolerance over a reduced temperature range of −55°C to +85°C. Many large
value ceramic capacitors, larger than 1uF are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics. Their
capacitance can drop by more than 50% as the temperature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore X5R or X7R
is recommended over Z5U and Y5V in applications where the ambient temperature will change significantly
above or below 25°C.Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because
they are more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 0.47uF to 44uF
range. Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent
size ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the stable
range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the
same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes
from 25°C down to −40°C, so some guard band must be allowed .

The device is designed to be used with ceramic capacitors on the outputs of the buck regulators. The
recommended dielectric type of these capacitors is X5R, X7R, or of comparable material to maintain

The device is designed to be used with ceramic capacitors on

value for the input capacitor is 10µF with a n ESR of 10mΩ

The input power source supplies the average current
continuously. During the high side MOSFET switch on-time,
however, the demanded di/dt is higher than can be typically
supplied by the input power source. This delta is supplied by
the input capacitor A simplified “worst case” assumption
is that all of the high side MOSFET current is supplied by the
input capacitor. This w ill Result in conservative estimates of

PCBOARD LAYOUT
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the
performance of a DC- DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and
resistive voltage loss in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting in poor
regulation or instability. Good layout can be implemented b y following a few simple design rules .
1. Minimize area of switched current loops. In a buck
regulator there are two loops where currents are
switched rapidly. The first loop starts from the CIN input
capacitor, to the regulator VIN terminal, to the regulator
SW terminal, to the inductor then out to the output
capacitor COUT and load. The second loop starts from
the output capacitor ground , to the regulator GND
terminals, to the inductor and then out to COUT an d
the load. To minimize both loop area s the input
capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the
VIN terminal. Grounding for both the input and output
capacitors should consist of a small localized top side
plane that connects to GND. The inductor should be
placed as close as possible to the SW pin and output
capacitor.
3. Have a single point ground for all device analog g

2. Minimize the copper area of the switch node.
The SW terminals should be directly connected
with a trace that runs on top side directly to the
inductor. To minimize IR losses this trace should
be as short as possible and with a sufficient width
. However, a trace that is wider than 100 mils will
increase the copper area and cause too much
capacitive loading on the SW terminal. The
inductors should be placed as close as possible
to the SW terminals to further minimize the copper
area of the switch node.
4. Minimize trace length to the FB terminal. The
feedback trace should be routed away from the
SW pin and inductor to avoid contaminating the
feedback signal with switch noise.
5. Make input and output bus connections as wide
as possible. This reduces any voltage drop s o n
the input or output of the converter and can
improve efficiency. If voltage accuracy at the load
is important make sure feedback voltage sense is
made at the load. Doing so will correct for voltage
drop s at the load and provide the best output
accuracy.
