featuring Adaptive On-Time Control  
Hyper Speed Control™ Family  
General Description  
Features  
The  
Micrel  
MIC2103/04  
are  
constant-frequency,  
Hyper Speed Control™ architecture enables  
- High delta V operation (VIN = 75V and VOUT = 1.2V)  
- Any Capacitor™ stable  
synchronous buck controllers featuring a unique adaptive  
ON-time control architecture. The MIC2103/04 operates  
over an input supply range from 4.5V to 75V and can be  
used to supply up to 15A of output current. The output  
voltage is adjustable down to 0.8V with a guaranteed  
accuracy of ±1%. The device operates with programmable  
switching frequency from 200kHz to 600kHz.  
Micrel’s Hyper Light Load® architecture provides the same  
high-efficiency and ultra fast transient response as the Hyper  
Speed Control architecture under the medium to heavy loads,  
but also maintains high efficiency under light load conditions  
by transitioning to variable frequency, discontinuous-mode  
operation.

Pin Description  
Pin Number  
Pin Name  
Pin Function  
Internal +5V linear regulator output. VDD is the internal supply bus for the device. A 1μF ceramic  
capacitor from VDD to AGND is required for decoupling. In the applications with VIN<+5.5V, VDD  
should be tied to VIN to by-pass the linear regulator.  
1
VDD  
5V supply input for the low-side N-channel MOSFET driver, which can be tied to VDD externally.  
A 1μF ceramic capacitor from PVDD to PGND is recommended for decoupling.  
2
3
PVDD  
ILIM  
Current Limit Setting. Connect a resistor from SW to ILIM to set the over-current threshold for the  
converter.  
Low-Side Drive output. High-current driver output for external low-side MOSFET of a buck  
converter. The DL driving voltage swings from ground to VDD. Adding a small resistor between DL  
pin and the gate of the low-side N-channel MOSFET can slow down the turn-on and turn-off  
speed of the MOSFET.  
4
DL  
Power Ground. PGND is the return path for the buck converter power stage. The PGND pin  
connects to the sources of low-side N-Channel external MOSFET, the negative terminals of input  
capacitors, and the negative terminals of output capacitors. The return path for the power ground  
should be as small as possible and separate from the Signal ground (AGND) return path.  
5
6
PGND  
FREQ  
DH  
Switching Frequency Adjust input. Tie this pin to VIN to operate at 600kHz and place a resistor  
divider to reduce the frequency.  
High-Side Drive output. High-current driver output for external high-side MOSFET of a buck  
converter. The DH driving voltage is floating on the switch node voltage (VSW). Adding a small  
resistor between DH pin and the gate of the high-side N-channel MOSFET can slow down the  
turn-on and turn-off speed of the MOSFET.  
7
8
Switch Node and Current-Sense input. High current output driver return. The SW pin connects  
directly to the switch node. Due to the high-speed switching on this pin, the SW pin should be  
routed away from sensitive nodes. The SW pin also senses the current by monitoring the voltage  
across the low-side MOSFET during OFF time. In order to sense the current accurately, connect  
the low-side MOSFET drain to the SW pin using a Kelvin connection.

NC  
No connection.  
Voltage Supply Pin input for the high-side N-channel MOSFET driver, which can be powered by a  
bootstrapped circuit connected between VDD and SW, using a Schottky diode and a 0.1μF  
ceramic capacitor. Adding a small resistor at BST pin can slow down the turn-on speed of the  
high-side MOSFET.  
10  
BST  
Signal ground for VDD and the control circuitry, which is connected to Thermal Pad electronically.  
The signal ground return path should be separate from the power ground (PGND) return path.  
12  
13  
14  
15  
AGND  
FB  
Feedback input. Input to the transconductance amplifier of the control loop. The FB pin is  
regulated to 0.8V. A resistor divider connecting the feedback to the output is used to set the  
desired output voltage.  
Power Good output. Open Drain Output, an external pull-up resistor to VDD or external power  
rails is required.  
PG  
Enable input. A logic signal to enable or disable the buck converter operation. The EN pin is  
CMOS compatible. Logic high enables the device, logic low shutdowns the regulator. In the  
disable mode, the VDD supply current for the device is minimized to 0.7mA typically.  
EN  
Supply voltage. The VIN operating voltage range is from 4.5V to 75V. A 1μF ceramic capacitor  
from VIN to AGND is required for decoupling.  
16  
VIN  
Exposed Pad. Connect the EPAD to PGND plain on the PCB to improve the thermal  
performance.

MIC2103/04  
Functional Description  
The MIC2103/04 are adaptive on-time synchronous buck  
controllers built for high-input voltage to low-output  
voltage conversion applications. They are designed to  
operate over a wide input voltage range, from 4.5V to  
75V, and the output is adjustable with an external  
resistive divider. An adaptive on-time control scheme is  
employed to obtain a constant switching frequency and  
to simplify the control compensation. Over-current  
protection is implemented by sensing low-side  
MOSFET’s RDS(ON). The device features internal soft-  
start, enable, UVLO, and thermal shutdown.  
The maximum duty cycle is obtained from the 200ns  
tOFF(min)

where tS = 1/fSW. It is not recommended to use  
MIC2103/04 with a OFF-time close to tOFF(min) during  
steady-state operation.  
The adaptive ON-time control scheme results in a  
constant switching frequency in the MIC2103/04. The  
actual ON-time and resulting switching frequency will  
vary with the different rising and falling times of the  
external MOSFETs. Also, the minimum tON results in a  
lower switching frequency in high VIN to VOUT  
applications. During load transients, the switching  
frequency is changed due to the varying OFF-time.  
Theory of Operation  
Figure 1 illustrates the block diagram of the MIC2103/04.  
The output voltage is sensed by the MIC2103/04  
feedback pin FB via the voltage divider R1 and R2, and  
compared to a 0.8V reference voltage VREF at the error  
comparator through a low-gain transconductance (gm)  
amplifier. If the feedback voltage decreases and the  
amplifier output is below 0.8V, thenthe error comparator  
will trigger the control logic and generate an ON-time  
period. The ON-time period length is predetermined by  
the “Fixed tON Estimator” circuitry:  
To illustrate the control loop operation, we will analyze  
both the steady-state and load transient scenarios. For  
easy analysis, the gain of the gm amplifier is assumed to  
be 1. With this assumption, the inverting input of the  
error comparator is the same as the feedback voltage.  
Figure 2 shows the MIC2103/04 control loop timing  
during steady-state operation. During steady-state, the  
gm amplifier senses the feedback voltage ripple, which is  
proportional to the output voltage ripple plus injected  
voltage ripple, to trigger the ON-time period. The ON-  
time is predetermined by the tON estimator. The  
termination of the OFF-time is controlled by the feedback  
voltage. At the valley of the feedback voltage ripple,  
which occurs when VFB falls below VREF, the OFF period  
ends and the next ON-time period is triggered through  
the control logic circuitry.  
VOUT  
tON(estimated)  
=
Eq. 1  
VIN  
× fSW  
where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the power stage  
input voltage, and fSW is the switching frequency.  
At the end of the ON-time period, the internal high-side  
driver turns off the high-side MOSFET and the low-side  
driver turns on the low-side MOSFET. The OFF-time  
period length depends upon the feedback voltage in  
most cases. When the feedback voltage decreases and  
the output of the gm amplifier is below 0.8V, the ON-time  
period is triggered and the OFF-time period ends. If the  
OFF-time period determined by the feedback voltage is  
less than the minimum OFF-time tOFF(min), which is about  
200ns, the MIC2103/04 control logic will apply the  
tOFF(min) instead. TOFF(min) is required to maintain enough  
energy in the boost capacitor (CBST) to drive the high-  
side MOSFET.

MIC2103/04  
Unlike true current-mode control, the MIC2103/04 uses  
the output voltage ripple to trigger an ON-time period.  
The output voltage ripple is proportional to the inductor  
current ripple if the ESR of the output capacitor is large  
enough.  
In order to meet the stability requirements, the  
MIC2103/04 feedback voltage ripple should be in phase  
with the inductor current ripple and are large enough to  
be sensed by the gm amplifier and the error comparator.  
The recommended feedback voltage ripple is  
20mV~100mV over full input voltage range. If a low ESR  
output capacitor is selected, then the feedback voltage  
ripple may be too small to be sensed by the gm amplifier  
and the error comparator. Also, the output voltage ripple  
and the feedback voltage ripple are not necessarily in  
phase with the inductor current ripple if the ESR of the  
output capacitor is very low. In these cases, ripple  
injection is required to ensure proper operation. Please  
refer to “Ripple Injection” subsection in Application  
Information for more details about the ripple injection  
technique.  
Figure 2. MIC2103/04 Control Loop Timing  
Figure 3a shows the operation of the MIC2103/04 during  
a load transient. The output voltage drops due to the  
sudden load increase, which causes the VFB to be less  
than VREF. This will cause the error comparator to trigger  
an ON-time period. At the end of the ON-time period, a  
minimum OFF-time tOFF(min) is generated to charge CBST  
since the feedback voltage is still below VREF. Then, the  
next ON-time period is triggered due to the low feedback  
voltage. Therefore, the switching frequency changes  
during the load transient, but returns to the nominal fixed  
frequency once the output has stabilized at the new load  
current level. With the varying duty cycle and switching  
frequency, the output recovery time is fast and the  
output voltage deviation is small in MIC2103/04  
converter.  
Discontinuous Mode (MIC2103 only)  
In continuous mode, the inductor current is always  
greater than zero; however, at light loads, the MIC2103  
is able to force the inductor current to operate in  
discontinuous mode. Discontinuous mode is where the  
inductor current falls to zero, as indicated by trace (IL)  
shown in Figure 3b. During this period, the efficiency is  
optimized by shutting down all the non-essential circuits  
and minimizing the supply current. The MIC2103 wakes  
up and turns on the high-side MOSFET when the  
feedback voltage VFB drops below 0.8V.  
The MIC2103 has a zero crossing comparator (ZC  
Detection) that monitors the inductor current by sensing  
the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET during its  
ON-time. If the VFB > 0.8V and the inductor current goes  
slightly negative, then the MIC2103 automatically  
powers down most of the IC circuitry and goes into a  
low-power mode.  
Once the MIC2103 goes into discontinuous mode, both  
LSD and HSD are low, which turns off the high-side and  
low-side MOSFETs. The load current is supplied by the  
output capacitors and VOUT drops. If the drop of VOUT  
causes VFB to go below VREF, then all the circuits will  
wake up into normal continuous mode. First, the bias  
currents of most circuits reduced during the  
discontinuous mode are restored, then a tON pulse is  
triggered before the drivers are turned on to avoid any  
possible glitches. Finally, the high-side driver is turned  
on. Figure 3b shows the control loop timing in  
discontinuous mode.

Figure 4. MIC2103/04 Current Limiting Circuit  
In each switching cycle of the MIC2103/04 converter, the  
inductor current is sensed by monitoring the low-side  
MOSFET in the OFF period. The sensed voltage V(ILIM)  
is compared with the power ground (PGND) after a  
blanking time of 150nS. In this way the drop voltage over  
the resistor RCL (VCL) is compared with the drop over the  
bottom FET generating the short current limit. The small  
capacitor (CCL) connected from ILIM pin to PGND filters  
the switching node ringing during the off time allowing a  
better short limit measurement. The time constant  
created by RCL and CCL should be much less than the  
minimum off time.  
Figure 3b. MIC2103 Control Loop Timing  
(Discontinuous Mode)  
During discontinuous mode, the bias current of most  
circuits are reduced. As a result, the total power supply  
current during discontinuous mode is only about 400μA,  
allowing the MIC2103 to achieve high efficiency in light  
load applications.  
Soft-Start  
Soft-start reduces the power supply input surge current  
at startup by controlling the output voltage rise time. The  
input surge appears while the output capacitor is  
charged up. A slower output rise time will draw a lower  
input surge current.  
The VCL drop allows programming of short limit through  
the value of the resistor (RCL), If the absolute value of the  
voltage drop on the bottom FET is greater than VCL’ in  
that case the V(ILIM) is lower than PGND and a short  
circuit event is triggered. A hiccup cycle to treat the short  
event is generated. The hiccup sequence including the  
soft start reduces the stress on the switching FETs and  
protects the load and supply for severe short conditions.  
The MIC2103/04 implements an internal digital soft-start  
by making the 0.8V reference voltage VREF ramp from 0  
to 100% in about 6ms with 9.7mV steps. Therefore, the  
output voltage is controlled to increase slowly by a stair-  
case VFB ramp. Once the soft-start cycle ends, the  
related circuitry is disabled to reduce current  
consumption. VDD must be powered up at the same time  
or after VIN to make the soft-start function correctly.  
The short circuit current limit can be programmed by  
using the following formula:  
(ICLIM − ∆PP × 0.5) × RDS(ON) + VCL

In case of hard short, the short limit is folded down to  
allow an indefinite hard short on the output without any  
destructive effect. It is mandatory to make sure that the  
inductor current used to charge the output capacitance  
during soft start is under the folded short limit, otherwise  
the supply will go in hiccup mode and may not be  
finishing the soft start successfully.  
The MOSFET RDS(ON) varies 30 to 40% with temperature;  
therefore, it is recommended to add a 50% margin to ICL  
in the above equation to avoid false current limiting due  
to increased MOSFET junction temperature rise. It is  
also recommended to connect SW pin directly to the  
drain of the low-side MOSFET to accurately sense the  
MOSFETs RDS(ON).  
MOSFET Gate Drive  
The MIC2103/04 high-side drive circuit is designed to  
switch an N-Channel MOSFET. Figure 1 shows a  
bootstrap circuit, consisting of D1 (a Schottky diode is  
recommended) and CBST. This circuit supplies energy to  
the high-side drive circuit. Capacitor CBST is charged  
while the low-side MOSFET is on and the voltage on the  
SW pin is approximately 0V. When the high-side  
MOSFET driver is turned on, energy from CBST is used to  
turn the MOSFET on. As the high-side MOSFET turns  
on, the voltage on the SW pin increases to  
approximately VIN. Diode D1 is reverse biased and CBST  
floats high while continuing to keep the high-side  
MOSFET on. The bias current of the high-side driver is  
less than 10mA so a 0.1μF to 1μF is sufficient to hold  
the gate voltage with minimal droop for the power stroke  
(high-side switching) cycle, i.e., ΔBST = 10mA x  
3.33μs/0.1μF = 333mV. When the low-side MOSFET is  
turned back on, CBST is recharged through D1. A small  
resistor RG, which is in series with CBST, can be used to  
slow down the turn-on time of the high-side N-channel  
MOSFET.  
The drive voltage is derived from the VDD supply voltage.  
The nominal low-side gate drive voltage is VDD and the  
nominal high-side gate drive voltage is approximately  
VDD – VDIODE, where VDIODE is the voltage drop across  
D1. An approximate 30ns delay between the high-side  
and low-side driver transitions is used to prevent current  
from simultaneously flowing unimpeded through both  
MOSFETs.

Application Information  
Setting the Switching Frequency  
MOSFET Selection  
The MIC2103/04 are adjustable-frequency, synchronous  
buck controllers featuring a unique adaptive on-time  
control architecture. The switching frequency can be  
adjusted between 200kHz and 600kHz by changing the  
resistor divider network consisting of R19 and R20.  
The MIC2103/04 controllers work from input voltages of  
4.5V to 75V and have an internal 5V VDD LDO. This  
internal VDD LDO provides power to turn the external N-  
Channel power MOSFETs for the high-side and low-side  
switches. For applications where VDD < 5V, it is  
necessary that the power MOSFETs used are sub-logic  
level and are in full conduction mode for VGS of 2.5V. For  
applications when VDD > 5V; logic-level MOSFETs,  
whose operation is specified at VGS = 4.5V must be  
used.

There are different criteria for choosing the high-side and  
low-side MOSFETs. These differences are more  
significant at lower duty cycles. In such an application,  
the high-side MOSFET is then required to switch as  
quickly as possible in order to minimize transition losses,  
whereas the low-side MOSFET can switch slower, but  
must handle larger RMS currents. When the duty cycle  
approaches 50%, the current carrying capability of the  
high-side MOSFET starts to become critical.

Figure 5. Switching Frequency Adjustment  
It is important to note that the on-resistance of a  
MOSFET increases with increasing temperature. A 75°C  
rise in junction temperature will increase the channel  
resistance of the MOSFET by 50 to 75% of the  
resistance specified at 25°C. This change in resistance  
must be accounted for when calculating MOSFET power  
dissipation and in calculating the value of current limit.  
Total gate charge is the charge required to turn the  
MOSFET on and off under specified operating conditions  
(VDS and VGS). The gate charge is supplied by the  
MIC2103/04 gate-drive circuit. At 200kHz switching  
frequency, the gate charge can be a significant source of  
power dissipation in the MIC2103/04. At low output load,  
this power dissipation is noticeable as a reduction in  
efficiency. The average current required to drive the  
high-side MOSFET is:

The low-side MOSFET is turned on and off at VDS = 0  
because an internal body diode or external freewheeling  
diode is conducting during this time. The switching loss  
for the low-side MOSFET is usually negligible. Also, the  
gate-drive current for the low-side MOSFET is more  
accurately calculated using CISS at VDS = 0 instead of  
gate charge.

current-limit value. Please refer to “Current Limit”

fSW = Switching Frequency  
The high-side MOSFET switching losses increase with  
the switching frequency and the input voltage VHSD. The  
low-side MOSFET switching losses are negligible and  
can be ignored for these calculations.  
The voltage ratings for the high-side and low-side  
MOSFETs are essentially equal to the power stage input  
voltage VHSD. A safety factor of 20% should be added to  
the VDS(max) of the MOSFETs to account for voltage  
spikes due to circuit parasitic elements.  
Inductor Selection  
The power dissipated in the MOSFETs is the sum of the  
conduction losses during the on-time (PCONDUCTION) and  
the switching losses during the period of time when the  
MOSFETs turn on and off (PAC).  
Values for inductance, peak, and RMS currents are  
required to select the output inductor. The input and  
output voltages and the inductance value determine the  
peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. Generally, higher  
inductance values are used with higher input voltages.  
Larger peak-to-peak ripple currents will increase the  
power dissipation in the inductor and MOSFETs. Larger  
output ripple currents will also require more output  
capacitance to smooth out the larger ripple current.  
Smaller peak-to-peak ripple currents require a larger  
inductance value and therefore a larger and more  
expensive inductor.

A good compromise between size, loss and cost is to set  
the inductor ripple current to be equal to 20% of the  
maximum output current.  
Copper loss in the inductor is calculated by Equation 17:  
PINDUCTOR(Cu) = IL(RMS)2 × RWINDING  
Eq. 17  
The inductance value is calculated by Equation 13:  
The resistance of the copper wire, RWINDING, increases

Output Capacitor Selection  
The type of the output capacitor is usually determined by  
its ESR (equivalent series resistance). Voltage and RMS  
current capability are two other important factors for  
selecting the output capacitor. Recommended capacitor  
types are tantalum, low-ESR aluminum electrolytic, OS-  
CON and POSCAP. The output capacitor’s ESR is  
usually the main cause of the output ripple. The output  
capacitor ESR also affects the control loop from a  
stability point of view. The maximum value of ESR is  
calculated:  
The peak inductor current is equal to the average output  
current plus one half of the peak-to-peak inductor current  
ripple.

where:  
Maximizing efficiency requires the proper selection of  
core material and minimizing the winding resistance. The  
high frequency operation of the MIC2103/04 requires the  
use of ferrite materials for all but the most cost sensitive  
applications. Lower cost iron powder cores may be used  
but the increase in core loss will reduce the efficiency of  
the power supply. This is especially noticeable at low  
output power. The winding resistance decreases  
efficiency at the higher output current levels. The  
winding resistance must be minimized although this  
usually comes at the expense of a larger inductor. The  
power dissipated in the inductor is equal to the sum of  
the core and copper losses. At higher output loads, the  
core losses are usually insignificant and can be ignored.  
At lower output currents, the core losses can be a  
significant contributor. Core loss information is usually  
available from the magnetic vendor.

The total output ripple is a combination of the ESR and  
output capacitance. The total ripple is calculated in  
Equation 20:  
The input voltage ripple will primarily depend on the  
input capacitor’s ESR. The peak input current is equal to  
the peak inductor current, so:

The input capacitor must be rated for the input current  
ripple. The RMS value of input capacitor current is  
determined at the maximum output current. Assuming  
the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is low:  
Eq. 20  
where:  
D = duty cycle  
ICIN(RMS) IOUT(max) × D×(1D)  
Eq. 24  
COUT = output capacitance value  
fsw = switching frequency  
The power dissipated in the input capacitor is:  
PDISS(CIN) = ICIN(RMS)2 × ESRCIN  
As described in the “Theory of Operation” subsection in  
Functional Description, the MIC2103/04 requires at least  
20mV peak-to-peak ripple at the FB pin to make the gm  
amplifier and the error comparator behave properly.  
Also, the output voltage ripple should be in phase with  
the inductor current. Therefore, the output voltage ripple  
caused by the output capacitors value should be much  
smaller than the ripple caused by the output capacitor  
ESR. If low ESR capacitors, such as ceramic capacitors,  
are selected as the output capacitors, a ripple injection  
method should be applied to provide enough feedback  
voltage ripple. Please refer to the “Ripple Injection”  
subsection for more details.  
Eq. 25  
Voltage Setting Components  
The MIC2103 requires two resistors to set the output  
voltage as shown in Figure 7:  
The voltage rating of the capacitor should be twice the  
output voltage for a tantalum and 20% greater for  
aluminum electrolytic or OS-CON. The output capacitor  
RMS current is calculated in Equation 21:

where, VFB = 0.8V. A typical value of R1 can be between

introduced into the voltage feedback loop. If R1 is too  
small in value, it will decrease the efficiency of the power  
supply, especially at light loads. Once R1 is selected, R2  
can be calculated using:  
Input Capacitor Selection  
The input capacitor for the power stage input VIN should  
be selected for ripple current rating and voltage rating.  
Tantalum input capacitors may fail when subjected to  
high inrush currents, caused by turning the input supply  
on. A tantalum input capacitor’s voltage rating should be  
at least two times the maximum input voltage to  
maximize reliability. Aluminum electrolytic, OS-CON, and  
multilayer polymer film capacitors can handle the higher

MIC2103/04  
Ripple Injection  
The VFB ripple required for proper operation of the  
MIC2103/04 gm amplifier and error comparator is 20mV  
to 100mV. However, the output voltage ripple is  
generally designed as 1% to 2% of the output voltage.  
For a low output voltage, such as a 1V, the output  
voltage ripple is only 10mV to 20mV, and the feedback  
voltage ripple is less than 20mV. If the feedback voltage  
ripple is so small that the gm amplifier and error  
comparator cannot sense it, then the MIC2103/04 will  
lose control and the output voltage is not regulated. In  
order to have some amount of VFB ripple, a ripple  
injection method is applied for low output voltage ripple  
applications.  
Figure 8b. Inadequate Ripple at FB  
The applications are divided into three situations  
according to the amount of the feedback voltage ripple:  
1. Enough ripple at the feedback voltage due to the  
large ESR of the output capacitors.  
As shown in Figure 8a, the converter is stable  
without any ripple injection. The feedback voltage  
ripple is:  
Figure 8c. Invisible Ripple at FB  
In this situation, the output voltage ripple is less than  
20mV. Therefore, additional ripple is injected into the FB  
pin from the switching node SW via a resistor Rinj and a  
capacitor Cinj, as shown in Figure 8c. The injected ripple  
is:

The output voltage ripple is fed into the FB pin

capacitor, the feedback voltage ripple is very close

If the voltage divider resistors R1 and R2 are in the kΩ  
range, then a Cff of 1nF to 100nF can easily satisfy the  
large time constant requirements. Also, a 100nF  
injection capacitor Cinj is used in order to be considered  
as short for a wide range of the frequencies.  
The process of sizing the ripple injection resistor and  
capacitors is:  
Step 1. Select Cff to feed all output ripples into the  
feedback pin and make sure the large time constant  
assumption is satisfied. Typical choice of Cff is 1nF to  
100nF if R1 and R2 are in kΩ range.

voltage ripple using Equation 33:

PCB Layout Guidelines  
Warning: To minimize EMI and output noise, follow  
these layout recommendations.  
Inductor  
Keep the inductor connection to the switch node  
(SW) short.  
PCB Layout is critical to achieve reliable, stable and  
efficient performance. A ground plane is required to  
control EMI and minimize the inductance in power,  
signal and return paths.  
Do not route any digital lines underneath or close to  
the inductor.  
Keep the switch node (SW) away from the feedback  
(FB) pin.  
The following guidelines should be followed to insure  
proper operation of the MIC2103 converter.  
The SW pin should be connected directly to the  
drain of the low-side MOSFET to accurate sense the  
voltage across the low-side MOSFET.  
IC  
The 1µF ceramic capacitors, which are connected to  
the VDD and PVDD pins, must be located right at  
the IC. The VDD pin is very noise sensitive and  
placement of the capacitor is very critical. Use wide  
traces to connect to the VDD and PGND pins.  
To minimize noise, place a ground plane underneath  
the inductor.  
Output Capacitor  
Use a wide trace to connect the output capacitor  
ground terminal to the input capacitor ground  
terminal.  
The signal ground pin (GND) must be connected  
directly to the ground planes. Do not route the GND  
pin to the PGND pin on the top layer.  
Phase margin will change as the output capacitor  
value and ESR changes. Contact the factory if the  
output capacitor is different from what is shown in  
the BOM.  
Place the IC close to the point of load (POL).  
Use fat traces to route the input and output power  
lines.  
The feedback trace should be separate from the  
power trace and connected as close as possible to  
the output capacitor. Sensing a long high-current  
load trace can degrade the DC load regulation.  
Signal and power grounds should be kept separate  
and connected at only one location.  
Input Capacitor  
Place the input capacitor next.  
MOSFETs  
Place the input capacitors on the same side of the  
board and as close to the MOSFETs as possible.  
Low-side MOSFET gate drive trace (DL pin to  
MOSFET gate pin) must be short and routed over a  
ground plane. The ground plane should be the  
connection between the MOSFET source and  
PGND.  
Place several vias to the ground plane close to the  
input capacitor ground terminal.  
Use either X7R or X5R dielectric input capacitors.  
Do not use Y5V or Z5U type capacitors.  
Chose a low-side MOSFET with a high CGS/CGD ratio  
and a low internal gate resistance to minimize the  
effect of dv/dt inducted turn-on.  
Do not replace the ceramic input capacitor with any  
other type of capacitor. Any type of capacitor can be  
placed in parallel with the input capacitor.  
Do not put a resistor between the Low-side  
MOSFET gate drive output and the gate.  
If a Tantalum input capacitor is placed in parallel  
with the input capacitor, it must be recommended for  
switching regulator applications and the operating  
voltage must be derated by 50%.  
Use a 4.5V VGS rated MOSFET. Its higher gate  
threshold voltage is more immune to glitches than a  
2.5V or 3.3V rated MOSFET. MOSFETs that are  
rated for operation at less than 4.5V VGS should not  
be used.  
In “Hot-Plug” applications, a Tantalum or Electrolytic  
bypass capacitor must be used to limit the over-  
voltage spike seen on the input supply with power is  
suddenly applied.  
RC Snubber  
Place the RC snubber on the same side of the board  
and as close to the SW pin as possible.
