AX3514/A/B
1.2MHz, 2A Synchronous Step-Down
Converter
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AX3514/A/B is a 1.2MHz constant frequency current mode PWM step-down
converter. It is ideal for portable equipment requiring very high current up to 2A from
single-cell Lithium-ion batteries while still achieving over 90% efficiency during peak load
conditions. The AX3514/A/B also can run at 100% duty cycle for low dropout operation,
extending battery life in portable systems while light load operation provides very low output
ripple for noise sensitive applications. The AX3514/A/B can supply up to 2A output load
current from a 2.6V to 5.5V input voltage and the output voltage can be regulated as low as
0.6V. The high switching frequency minimizes the size of external components while
keeping switching losses low. The internal slope compensation setting allows the device to
operate with smaller inductor values to optimize size and provide efficient operation. The
AX3514/A/B is available in adjustable (0.6V to VIN) output voltage. The device is available in
SOP-8L Pb-free and TDFN-10L packages.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Operation
AX3514/A/B is a monolithic switching mode Step-Down DC-DC converter. It utilizes
internal MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency and can generate very low output voltage by
using internal reference at 0.6V. It operates at a fixed switching frequency, and uses the
slope compensated current mode architecture. This Step-Down DC-DC Converter supplies
2000mA output current at input voltage range from 2.6V to 5.5V.
Current Mode PWM Control
Slope compensated current mode PWM control provides stable switching and
cycle-by-cycle current limit for excellent load and line responses and protection of the
internal main switch (P-CH MOSFET) and synchronous rectifier (N-CH MOSFET). During
normal operation, the internal P-CH MOSFET is turned on for a certain time to ramp the
inductor current at each rising edge of the internal oscillator, and switched off when the peak
inductor current is above the error voltage. The current comparator, ICOMP limits the peak
inductor current. When the main switch is off, the synchronous rectifier will be turned on
immediately and stay on until either the inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by the
current reversal comparator, IZERO, or the beginning of the next clock cycle.

Inductor Selection
For most designs, the AX3514/A/B operates with inductors of 2.2µH to 4.7µH. Low
inductance values are physically smaller but require faster switching, which results in some
efficiency loss. The inductor value can be derived from the following equation:
L
V OUT
V
IN
V IN V OUT
I L
f
OSC
Where is inductor Ripple Current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and small
value inductors result in high ripple currents. Choose inductor ripple current approximately
15% of the maximum load current 2000mA, ΔIL=300mA.

Note: Part type L (www.we-online.com)
For output voltages above 2.0V, when light-load efficiency is important, the minimum
recommended inductor is 2.2µH. For optimum voltage-positioning load transients, choose
an inductor with DC series resistance in the 30mΩ to 100mΩ range. For higher efficiency at
heavy loads (above 200mA), or minimal load regulation (but some transient overshoot), the
resistance should be kept below 100mΩ. 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 (2000mA+350mA).

Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and switching
noise from the device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be
less than input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to the
input. A low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be used. Ceramic
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low ESR
and small temperature coefficients. A 22µF ceramic capacitor for most applications is
sufficient.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure
regulation loop stability. The output capacitor must have low impedance at the switching
frequency. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended due to their
low ESR and high ripple current.
Compensation Capacitor Selection
The compensation capacitor (C5) for improving phase margin provides additional
stability. Refer to Demo Board Schematic. The optimum value is 15pF for all conditions.
