AX5201
Step-up PWM DC/DC Converter
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AX5201 is high efficient step-up DC/DC converter. Large output current is
possible having a built in internal N channel MOSFET, and using an external coil and
diode.
The AX5201 can be operated at switching frequencies of 500 kHz allowing for easy
filtering and low noise, the size of the external components can be reduced.
Output voltage is programmable with 1.0V of standard voltage supply internal, and
using externally connected components, output voltage (FB) can be set up at will. The
soft-start time can be programmed by outside capacitor; the function prevents overshoot at
startup. Build inside Current limit, Thermal Shutdown and enable functions.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
PWM Control
The AX5201 consists of DC/DC converters that employ a pulse-width modulation
(PWM) system. In converters of the AX5201, the pulse width varies in a range from 0 to
85%, according to the load current. The ripple voltage produced by the switching can easily
be removed through a filter because the switching frequency remains constant. Therefore,
these converters provide a low-ripple power over broad ranges of input voltage and load
current.
Setting the Output Voltage
Application circuit item shows the basic application circuit with AX5201 adjustable
output version. The external resistor sets the output voltage according to the following
equation:

Inductor Selection
For most designs, 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 IN
V
V OUT V IN
OUT
I L
f
LX
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 input current 2.4A, ΔIL=0.18A.

33uH
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 (2.4A+0.18A).
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.
The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the input
voltage, and often much higher voltage ratings are needed to satisfy.

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. A low ESR capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be used. The low
ESR requirements needed for low output ripple voltage.
The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the input
voltage, and often much higher voltage ratings are needed to satisfy.
Output Voltage Ripple
Application circuit item shows the basic application circuit with AX5201. The output
voltage ripple (VRIPPLE) very lager at high switch current(ISW=3A, VRIPPLE≒0.7V), external
π filters can reduce output voltage ripple.

Layout Guidance (please refer layout picture)
When laying out the PC board, the following suggestions should be taken to ensure
proper operation of the AX5201. These items are also illustrated graphically in below.
1. The power traces, including the Source trace, the Schottky and the C1 trace should be
kept short, direct and wide to allow large current flow.
2. The power ground is keep C4’s ground closed and far away signal ground.
3. The signal ground trance is distant from power ground trance.
4. The exposed pad is connecting to SW trace closely and widely. (Reduce IC
temperature)
5. Do not trace signal line under inductor.
