RP504x SERIES
600mA Step-down DC/DC Converter with Synchronous Rectifier
NO.EA-259-130520

OUTLINE
The RP504x Series are low supply current CMOS-based 600mA step-down DC/DC Converters with
synchronous rectifier. Each of these ICs consists of an oscillator, a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, a
switching control circuit, a mode control circuit(Ver.A, D), a soft-start circuit, a "latch type" protection circuit, an
under voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit, and switching transistors. A low ripple, high efficiency synchronous rectifier
step-down DC/DC converter can be easily composed of this IC with only an inductor and capacitors. Since
packages are SOT-23-5, DFN1616-6B, DFN(PLP)1216-6F, high density mounting on boards is possible.
As protection circuits, the RP504x Series contain a current limit circuit which limits the Lx peak current in each
clock cycle, and a latch type protection circuit which latches the built-in driver to the OFF state if the load current
exceeds the limit value or the output short continues for a specified time (the protection delay time). The latch
protective circuit can be released by once putting the IC into the standby mode with the CE pin and then into the
active mode, or, by turning the power off and back on. Setting the supply voltage lower than the UVLO detector
threshold can also release the latch protective circuit.
In terms of the output voltage, since the feedback resistances are built-in, the voltage is fixed internally. 0.1V
step output can be set by laser-trim and 1.5% or 18mV tolerance depending on the output voltage is
guaranteed. By inputting a signal to a MODE pin, the RP504x Series can be switched between PWM/VFM auto
switching control and Forced PWM control. PWM/VFM auto switching control switches to high-efficiency VFM
mode in low output current. Forced PWM control switches to fixed-frequency Forced PWM mode for reducing
noise in low output current.
)This is an approximate value, because output current depends on conditions and external parts.

TECHNICAL NOTES
When you use these ICs, consider the following issues:
Set external components such as an inductor, CIN, COUT as close as possible to the IC, in particular, minimize
the wiring to VIN pin and PGND pin. Reinforce the VIN, PGND, and VOUT lines sufficiently. Large switching
current may flow in these lines. If the impedance of VIN and PGND lines is too large, the internal voltage level in
this IC may shift caused by the switching current, and the operation might be unstable. The wiring between
VOUT and load and between L and VOUT should be separated.
The recommended capacitance value for the CIN capacitor connected between the VIN and PGND pins is
2.2µF or more. Also, the recommended capacitance value for the COUT capacitor is 4.7µF ~ 10µF.Please be
aware of the characteristics of bias dependence and temperature fluctuation of ceramic capacitor.
Choose an inductor with inductance range from 2.2H to 4.7H. The phase compensation has been made by
these values with output capacitors. The recommendation characteristics of the inductor are low DC resistance,
large enough permissible current, and strong against the magnetic saturation. Inductance value may shift
depending on an inductor. If the inductance value at an actual load current is low, LX peak current may increase
and may overlap the LX current limit. As a result, over current protection may work.
Over current protection circuit, Latch-type protection circuit may be affected by self-heating and heat radiation
environment.
The performance of power supply circuits using this IC largely depends on the peripheral circuits. Please be
very careful when setting the peripheral parts. When designing the peripheral circuits of each part, PCB
patterns, and this IC, please do not exceed the rated values (Voltage, Current, Power).

Operation of step-down DC/DC converter and Output Current
The DC/DC converter charges energy in the inductor when LX transistor is ON, and discharges the energy
from the inductor when LX transistor is OFF and controls with less energy loss, so that a lower output voltage
than the input voltage is obtained. The operation will be explained with reference to the following diagrams:
<Basic Circuit> <Current through L>

Nch Tr
VIN
i1
VOUT
CL
i2
GND
T=1/fosc
ton toff
topen
ILmin
ILmax
IL
i1 i2
Step 1 : Pch Tr. turns on and current IL (=i1) flows, and energy is charged into CL. At this moment, IL increases
from ILmin (=0) to reach ILmax in proportion to the on-time period (ton) of Pch Tr.
Step 2 : When Pch Tr. turns off, Synchronous rectifier Nch Tr. turns on in order that L maintains IL at ILmax, and
current IL (=i2) flows.
Step 3: IL (=i2) decreases gradually and reaches IL=ILmin=0 after a time period of topen, and Nch Tr. turns off.
Provided that in the continuous mode, next cycle starts before IL becomes to 0 because toff time is not
enough. In this case, IL value increases from this ILmin (>0).
In the case of PWM control system, the output voltage is maintained by controlling the on-time period (ton), with
the oscillator frequency (fosc) being maintained constant.
The maximum value (ILmax) and the minimum value (ILmin) of the current flowing through the inductor are the
same as those when Pch Tr. turns on and off.
The difference between ILmax and ILmin, which is represented by I:
I = ILmax ILmin = VOUT topen / L = (VIN VOUT) ton / L ......................................... Equation 1
wherein,
T = 1 / fosc = ton + toff
duty (%)= ton / T 100 = ton fosc 100
topen toff
In Equation 1, VOUT topen / L and (VIN VOUT) ton / L respectively show the change of the current at "ON", and
the change of the current at "OFF".
RP504x
12
Discontinuous mode and Continuous mode
When the output current (IOUT) is relatively small, topen < toff as illustrated in the above diagram. In this case,
the energy is charged in the inductor during the time period of ton and is discharged in its entirely during the time
period of toff, therefore ILmin becomes to zero (ILmin=0). When IOUT is gradually increased, eventually, topen
becomes to toff (topen=toff), and when IOUT is further increased, ILmin becomes larger than zero (ILmin>0). The
former mode is referred to as the discontinuous mode and the latter mode is referred to as continuous mode.

In the continuous mode, when Equation 1 is solved for ton and assumed that the solution is tonc,

When ton<tonc, the mode is the discontinuous mode, and when ton=tonc, the mode is the continuous mode.

Output Current and selection of External components
The relation between the output current and external components is as follows:
(Wherein, Ripple Current p-p value is described as IRP, ON resistance of Pch Tr. and Nch Tr. of LX are
respectively described as RONP and RONN, and the DC resistor of the inductor is described as RL.)
When Pch Tr. of LX is ON:
VIN = VOUT + (RONP + RL) IOUT + L IRP / ton ................................................................. Equation 3
When Pch Tr. of LX is "OFF" (Nch Tr. is "ON"):
L IRP / toff = RONN IOUT + VOUT + RL IOUT ................................................................. Equation 4
Put Equation 4 to Equation 3 and solve for ON duty of Pch transistor, DON = ton / (toff + ton),
DON = (VOUT + RONN IOUT + RL IOUT) / (VIN + RONN IOUT RONP IOUT)....................... Equation 5
Ripple Current is as follows:
IRP = (VIN VOUT RONP IOUT RL IOUT) DON / fosc / L............................................. Equation 6
wherein, peak current that flows through L, and LX Tr. is as follows:
ILXmax = IOUT + IRP / 2 .................................................................................................... Equation 7
Consider ILXmax, condition of input and output and select external components.
The above explanation is directed to the calculation in an ideal case in continuous mode.

TIMING CHART
(1) Soft Start Time
In the case of starting this IC with CE
In the case of starting this IC with CE, the operation can be as in the timing chart below.
When the voltage of CE pin (VCE) is beyond the threshold level, the operation of the IC starts. The threshold
voltage of CE pin is in between CE "H" input voltage (VCEH) and CE "L" input voltage (VCEL) described in the
electrical characteristics table. Soft-start circuit operates, and after the certain time, the reference voltage
inside the IC (VREF) is rising gradually up to the constant value.

during the Soft-start Time
Soft-start time is the time interval from soft start circuit starting point to the reference voltage level reaching
point up to this constant level.
Soft start time is not always equal to the turn-on speed of DC/DC converter.
The power supply capacity for this IC, load current, inductance and capacitance values affect the turn-on
speed.
In the case of starting with power supply
In the case of starting with power supply, when the input voltage (VIN) is larger than UVLO released voltage
(VUVLO2), soft start circuit operates, and after that, the same explanation above is applied to the operation.
Soft-start time is the time interval from soft start circuit starting point to the reference voltage level reaching

(2) Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Circuit
The step-down DC/DC converter stops and ON duty becomes 100%, if input voltage (VIN) becomes less
than the set output voltage (Set VOUT), the output voltage (VOUT) gradually drops according to the input
voltage (VIN). If the input voltage drops more and becomes less than UVLO detector threshold (VUVLO1), the
under voltage lockout circuit (UVLO) operates, the IC internal reference voltage (VREF) stops, switching
transistors turn off and the output voltage drops according to the load and output capacitor COUT value.
To restart the normal operation, the input voltage (VIN) must be more than the UVLO released voltage
(VUVLO2).
The timing chart below describes the operation with varying the input voltage (VIN).

(3) Over Current Protection Circuit, Latch Type Protection Circuit
Over current protection circuit supervises the inductor peak current (the current flowing through Pch
transistor) in each switching cycle, and if the current exceeds the LX current limit (ILXlim), turns off Pch
transistor. The LX current limit of RP504x is Typ.900mA.
Latch type protection circuit latches the built-in driver to the OFF state and stops the operation of DC/DC
converter if the over current status continues or the output voltage continues being the half of the setting
voltage for equal or longer than protection delay time (tprot).
LX current limit (ILXlim) and protection delay time (tprot) could be easily affected by self-heating or ambient
environment. If the input voltage (VIN) drops drastically or becomes unstable due to short-circuit, the
protection operation and protection delay time may be affected.

To release the condition of latch type protection, restart this IC by inputting "L" signal to CE pin, or restart
this IC with power-on or make the supply voltage lower than UVLO detector threshold (VUVLO1) level.
The timing chart shown below describes the changing process of input voltage rising, stable operating,
operating with large current, reset with CE pin, stable operating, input voltage falling, input voltage
recovering, and stable operating.
Point(1) : If the large current flows through the circuit or the IC goes into low output voltage condition due to
short-circuit or other reasons, the latch type protection circuit latches the built-in driver to OFF state after the
protection delay time (tprot). Then, VLX becomes "L" and the output voltage turns OFF. In this timing chart
below, the latch protective circuit can be released by once putting the IC into "L" with the CE pin and then
into "H" again.
Point(2) : The latch type protection can be released by UVLO reset by making the input voltage lower than
the UVLO detector threshold(VUVLO1).
