All rights reserved. 6/17 2011.01 - Rev.A Technical Note BD9123MUV Operation BD9123MUV is a synchronous rectifying step-down switching regulator that achieves faster transient response by employing current mode PWM control system. It utilizes switching operation in PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode for heavier load, while it utilizes SLLM (Simple Light Load Mode) operation for lighter load to improve efficiency. Synchronous rectifier It does not require the power to be dissipated by a rectifier externally connected to a conventional DC/DC converter IC, and its P.N junction shoot-through protection circuit limits the shoot-through current during operation, by which the power dissipation of the set is reduced. Current mode PWM control Synthesizes a PWM control signal with a inductor current feedback loop added to the voltage feedback. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control The oscillation frequency for PWM is 1 MHz. SET signal form OSC turns ON a Pch MOS FET (while a Nch MOS FET is turned OFF), and an inductor current IL increases. The current comparator (Current Comp) receives two signals, a current feedback control signal (SENSE: Voltage converted from IL) and a voltage feedback control signal (FB), and issues a RESET signal if both input signals are identical to each other, and turns OFF the highside MOS FET (while a lowside MOS FET is turned ON) for the rest of the fixed period. The PWM control repeat this operation. SLLM (Simple Light Load Mode) control When the control mode is shifted from PWM for heavier load to the one for lighter load or vise versa, the switching pulse is designed to turn OFF with the device held operated in normal PWM control loop, which allows linear operation without voltage drop or deterioration in transient response during the mode switching from light load to heavy load or vise versa. Although the PWM control loop continues to operate with a SET signal from OSC and a RESET signal from Current Comp, it is so designed that the RESET signal is held issued if shifted to the light load mode, with which the switching is tuned OFF and the switching pulses are thinned out under control. Activating the switching intermittently reduces the switching dissipation and improves the efficiency. SENSE Current Comp RESET VOUT R Q Level Shift FB SET S Driver Logic Gm Amp.

In case of extreme conditions, however, including lower input voltage, higher output voltage, heavier load, and/or higher temperature, the permissible dissipation and/or heat generation must be carefully considered. For dissipation, only conduction losses due to DC resistance of inductor and ON resistance of FET are considered.

Selection of inductor (L) The inductance significantly depends on output ripple current. As seen in the equation (1), the ripple current decreases as the inductor and/or switching frequency increases. IL IL IL= (VCC-VOUT)xVOUT [A](1) LxVCCxf VCC Appropriate ripple current at output should be 20% more or less of the maximum output current. IL IL=0.3xIOUTmax.

The inductor must be selected allowing sufficient margin with which the peak current may not exceed its current rating. If VCC=5.0V, VOUT=1.2V, f=1MHz, IL=0.3x1.2A=0.36A, for example, L= (5-1.2)x1.2 0.6x5x1M =2.53 4.7 [H] Select the inductor of low resistance component (such as DCR and ACR) to minimize dissipation in the inductor for better efficiency. 2. Selection of output capacitor (CO) Output capacitor should be selected with the consideration on the stability region and the equivalent series resistance required to smooth ripple voltage. VCC Output ripple voltage is determined by the equation (4): VOUT=ILxESR [V](4) (IL: Output ripple current, ESR: Equivalent series resistance of output capacitor) VOUT L ESR Co Rating of the capacitor should be determined allowing sufficient margin against output voltage. A 10F to 100F ceramic capacitor is recommended. Fig.35 Output capacitor Less ESR allows reduction in output ripple voltage. 3. Selection of input capacitor (Cin) Input capacitor to select must be a low ESR capacitor of the capacitance sufficient to cope with high ripple current to prevent high transient voltage. The ripple current IRMS is given by the equation (5): VCC Cin IRMS=IOUTx VOUT L VOUT(VCC-VOUT) VCC < Worst case > IRMS(max.)

Determination of RITH, CITH that works as a phase compensator As the Current Mode Control is designed to limit a inductor current, a pole (phase lag) appears in the low frequency area due to a CR filter consisting of a output capacitor and a load resistance, while a zero (phase lead) appears in the high frequency area due to the output capacitor and its ESR.

Absolute Maximum Ratings While utmost care is taken to quality control of this product, any application that may exceed some of the absolute maximum ratings including the voltage applied and the operating temperature range may result in breakage. If broken, short-mode or open-mode may not be identified. So if it is expected to encounter with special mode that may exceed the absolute maximum ratings, it is requested to take necessary safety measures physically including insertion of fuses. 2. Electrical potential at GND GND must be designed to have the lowest electrical potential In any operating conditions. 3. Short-circuiting between terminals, and mismounting When mounting to pc board, care must be taken to avoid mistake in its orientation and alignment. Failure to do so may result in IC breakdown. Short-circuiting due to foreign matters entered between output terminals, or between output and power supply or GND may also cause breakdown. 4. Thermal shutdown protection circuit Thermal shutdown protection circuit is the circuit designed to isolate the IC from thermal runaway, and not intended to protect and guarantee the IC. So, the IC the thermal shutdown protection circuit of which is once activated should not be used thereafter for any operation originally intended. 5. Inspection with the IC set to a pc board If a capacitor must be connected to the pin of lower impedance during inspection with the IC set to a pc board, the capacitor must be discharged after each process to avoid stress to the IC. For electrostatic protection, provide proper grounding to assembling processes with special care taken in handling and storage. When connecting to jigs in the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF the power supply before it is connected and removed. 6. Input to IC terminals + This is a monolithic IC with P isolation between P-substrate and each element as illustrated below. This P-layer and the N-layer of each element form a P-N junction, and various parasitic elements are formed. If a resistor is joined to a transistor terminal as shown in Fig 42. P-N junction works as a parasitic diode if the following relationship is satisfied; GND>Terminal A (at resistor side), or GND>Terminal B (at transistor side); and if GND>Terminal B (at NPN transistor side), a parasitic NPN transistor is activated by N-layer of other element adjacent to the above-mentioned parasitic diode. The structure of the IC inevitably forms parasitic elements, the activation of which may cause interference among circuits, and/or malfunctions contributing to breakdown. It is therefore requested to take care not to use the device in such manner that the voltage lower than GND (at P-substrate) may be applied to the input terminal, which may result in activation of parasitic elements.

Ground wiring pattern If small-signal GND and large-current GND are provided, It will be recommended to separate the large-current GND pattern from the small-signal GND pattern and establish a single ground at the reference point of the set PCB so that resistance to the wiring pattern and voltage fluctuations due to a large current will cause no fluctuations in voltages of the small-signal GND. Pay attention not to cause fluctuations in the GND wiring pattern of external parts as well. 8. Selection of inductor It is recommended to use an inductor with a series resistance element (DCR) 50m or less. Especially, in case output voltage is set 1.6V or more, note that use of a high DCR inductor will cause an inductor loss, resulting in decreased output voltage. Should this condition continue for a specified period (soft start time + timer latch time), output short circuit protection will be activated and output will be latched OFF. When using an inductor over 50m, be careful to ensure adequate margins for variation between external devices and this IC, including transient as well as static characteristics. Furthermore, in any case, it is recommended to start up the output with EN after supply voltage is within operation range. www.rohm.com (c) 2011 ROHM Co., Ltd.
