General Description
Features
The SY8113G is a high efficiency 500 kHz
synchronous step-down DC-DC converter capable of
delivering 3A current. The SY8113G operates over a
wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 18V and
integrates main switch and synchronous switch with
very low RDS(ON) to minimize the conduction loss.

SY8113G
To minimize the potential noise problem, place a
typical X5R or better grade ceramic capacitor really
close to the IN and GND pins. Care should be taken to
minimize the loop area formed by CIN, and IN/GND
pins. In this case, a 10uF low ESR ceramic capacitor is
recommended.
Operation
The SY8113G is a high efficiency 500 kHz
synchronous step-down DC-DC converter capable of
delivering 3A current. The SY8113G operates over a
wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 18V and
integrates main switch and synchronous switch with
very low RDS(ON) to minimize the conduction loss.

TC
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 better grade ceramic
capacitor greater than 22uF capacitance.

Applications Information
Because of the high integration in the SY8113G IC, the
application circuit based on this regulator IC is rather
simple. Only input capacitor CIN, output capacitor COUT,
output inductor L and feedback resistors (R1 and R2)
need to be selected for the targeted applications
specifications.
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:
V (1 VOUT /VIN, MAX )
L OUT
FSW IOUT, MAX 40%
re
SY8113G provides protection functions such as cycle
by cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown
protection. SY8113G will sense the output voltage
conditions for the fault protection.
Feedback resistor dividers R1 and R2:
Co
rp
.C
Choose R1 and R2 to program the proper output voltage.
To minimize the power consumption under light loads,
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 3.3V,
R1=100k is chosen, then using following equation, R2
can be calculated to be 22.1k:
The SY8113G regulator IC 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.

The DCR of the inductor and the core loss at the

achieve the desired efficiency requirement. It is
desirable to choose an inductor with DCR
