General Description
Features
The SM8102H is a high efficiency, synchronous stepdown DC/DC converter capable of delivering 2A load
current. The SM8102H operates over a wide input
voltage range from 4.2V to 18V and integrates main
switch and synchronous switch with very low RDS(ON)
to minimize the conduction loss.
The SM8102H adopts the instant PWM architecture to
achieve fast transient responses for high step down
applications and high efficiency at light loads. In
addition, it operates at pseudo-constant frequency of
500kHz to minimize the size of inductor and capacitor.

SM8102H
Operation
The SM8102H is a high efficiency, 500kHz
synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator capable of
delivering up to 2A load current. It can operate over a
wide input voltage range from 4.2V to 18V and
integrate main switch and synchronous switch with
very low RDS(ON) to minimize the conduction loss. The
SM8102H adopts the instant PWM architecture to
achieve fast transient responses for high step down
applications and high efficiency at light loads.
The SM8102H provides protection functions such as
cycle by cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown
protection. The SM8102H will sense the output voltage
conditions for the fault protection.
Applications Information
Because of the high integration in the SM8102H, the
application circuit based on this regulator is rather
simple. Only input capacitor CIN, output capacitor COUT,
output inductor L and feedback resistors (RH and RL)
need to be selected for the targeted applications
specifications.
Feedback Resistor Dividers RH and RL
Choose RH and RL to program the proper output voltage.
To minimize the power consumption under light loads,
it is desirable to choose large resistance values for both
RH and RL. A value of between 10kΩ and 1MΩ is
highly recommended for both resistors. If VOUT is 3.3V,
RH=100k is chosen, then using following equation, RL
can be calculated to be 22.1k:
0.6V
RL
RH
VOUT 0.6V
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 X5R or a better grade ceramic
capacitor with 16V rating and more than 10µF
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:
VOUT(1 VOUT/VIN,MAX)
L
fSW IOUT,MAX 40%
Where fsw is the switching frequency and IOUT,MAX is
the maximum load current.
The SM8102H 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.

RL
VOUT(1-VOUT/VIN,MAX)

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
