Application Note: SY8512
High Efficiency, 100V Input, 2A
Asynchronous Step Down Regulator
General Description
Features
•
The SY8512 develops a high efficiency, current mode
adaptive constant off time controlled, asynchronous
step-down DC/DC converter capable of delivering 2A
output current. The SY8512 operates over a wide input
voltage range from 4.5V to 100V and integrates main
switch with very low RDS(ON) to minimize the
conduction loss. The switching frequency is adjustable
from 100kHz to 1MHz using an external resistor. And
the device features cycle-by-cycle peak current
limitation.

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 better grade ceramic capacitor greater than 22μF
capacitance.
Operation Description

The SY8512 develops a high efficiency, current
mode adaptive constant off time controlled,
asynchronous step-down DC/DC converter capable
of delivering 2A output current. The SY8512
operates over a wide input voltage range from 4.5V
to 100V and integrates main switch with very low
RDS(ON) to minimize the conduction loss. The
switching frequency is adjustable from 100kHz to
1MHz using an external resistor. And the device
features cycle-by-cycle peak current limitation.

Input Capacitor CIN:
The ripple current through the input capacitor is
calculated as:
ICIN, RMS =IOUT D(1-D)
To minimize the potential noise problem, a typical
X5R or better grade ceramic capacitor should be
placed really close to the IN and the GND pins. Care
should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by
CIN, and the IN/GND pins. In this case, a 1μF low
ESR ceramic capacitor is recommended.

Feedback Resistor Dividers R1 and R2:
Choose R1 and R2 to program the proper output
voltage. To minimize the power consumption under
light load, 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 5V, R1=105kΩ is chosen, then using the
following equation, R2 can be calculated to be 20kΩ:

The SY8512 regulator 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.
lP
Because of the high integration in the SY8512, the
application circuit based on this IC is rather simple.
Only the input capacitor CIN, the output capacitor
COUT, the output inductor L1 and the feedback
resistors (R1 and R2) need to be selected for the target
applications.

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:
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
