CIN: 10µF C2012JB0J106K (TDK)
When you use these ICs, consider the following issues:
zꢀ Set the same level as AGND and PGND.
zꢀ 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. The wiring between VOUT and load and between L and VOUT
should be separated.
zꢀ Use an external capacitor CIN between VIN and GND, and COUT with a capacity of 10µF or more ceramic
type.
zꢀ Choose an inductor with inductance range from 4.7µH to 10.0µH. 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.
zꢀ Over current protection circuit may be affected by self-heating and heat radiation environment.
zꢀ 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 performance of power source circuits using these ICs extremely depends upon the peripheral circuits.
Pay attention in the selection of the peripheral circuits. In particular, design the peripheral circuits in a way that
the values such as voltage, current, and power of each component, PCB patterns and the IC do not exceed
their respected rated values.( such as the voltage, current, and power)
